Meaning: "weeds" means unwanted plants in the garden.

Wrong options:

• weedes: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "weeds". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• weed: "weed" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "weeds", so write the "s".

Correct answer: level

Explanation: Here you hear "soil's pH level can determine". You need a word that shows a measurement, only one.

Meaning: "level" means the amount or measurement of pH.

Wrong options:

• levle: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "level". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• levels: "levels" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "level", with no "s".

Correct answer: requirements

Explanation: The speaker says "sunlight requirements for each type". The word follows "sunlight", so you need more than one.

Meaning: "requirements" means the needs or conditions for each plant.

Wrong options:

• requirments: It leaves out the "e". Write "requirements". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• requirement: "requirement" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "requirements", so write the "s".

Correct answer: compost

Explanation: You hear "layer of compost". The phrase has "of" before it, so use a word for a soil material.

Meaning: "compost" means decayed plant material added to soil to help plants grow.

Wrong options:

• composte: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "compost". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• compote: "compote" is a close word, but it ends in "te". The speaker says "compost", which ends in "st".
