Correct answer: benefits

Explanation: You hear "into the benefits of". The sentence needs a word for a thing, meaning more than one.

Meaning: "benefits" means good results or advantages.

Wrong options:

  • benifits: It has "i" where the word has "e". Write "benefits". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • benefit: "benefit" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "benefits", so write the "s".
Correct answer: traditional

Explanation: Listen for "than traditional meat production". It comes before "meat", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "traditional" means usual or long used.

Wrong options:

  • traditonal: It leaves out the "i". Write "traditional". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: chronic

Explanation: On the recording you hear "risk of chronic diseases". It comes after "of", so you need a describing word that ends in ic.

Meaning: "chronic" means long lasting or continuing for a long time.

Wrong options:

  • chronis: It has "s" where the word has "c". Check the letters: "chronic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: nutritious

Explanation: Listen again to "delicious and nutritious foods". The speaker used a describing word that ends in ous.

Meaning: "nutritious" means full of good nutrients for the body.

Wrong options:

  • nutritous: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "nutritious". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • nutritional: "nutritional" is a close word, but it ends in "nal". The speaker says "nutritious", which ends in "us".
