Correct answer: horizon

Explanation: The speaker says "the opening of the horizon Gallery". It is a single name for the place.

Meaning: "horizon" means the name of the gallery here.

Wrong options:

  • horizen: It has "e" where the word has "o". Check the letters: "horizon". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • horizons: "horizons" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "horizon", with no "s".
Correct answer: sustainability

Explanation: You hear "themes of sustainability and". You need a word for a thing, not a describing word.

Meaning: "sustainability" means care for the environment and long term use.

Wrong options:

  • sustanability: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "sustainability". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sustainable: "sustainable" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "sustainability", which ends in "ility".
Correct answer: appreciation

Explanation: Listen for "foster a deeper appreciation of". The word after "deeper" is a thing we feel for art.

Meaning: "appreciation" means understanding and liking art more.

Wrong options:

  • apreciation: It leaves out the "p". Write "appreciation". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • appreciate: "appreciate" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "appreciation", which ends in "ion".
Correct answer: landscape

Explanation: On the recording you hear "town's cultural landscape, promising". This is a single idea about the town.

Meaning: "landscape" means the overall cultural scene or make up of the town.

Wrong options:

  • landcape: It leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "landscape". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • landscapes: "landscapes" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "landscape", with no "s".
