AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: flexibility

Explanation: The speaker says "focuses on flexibility and efficiency". It comes after "on", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "flexibility" means the ability to change or adapt.

Wrong options:

  • flexability: It has "a" where the word has "i". Check the letters: "flexibility". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • flexible: "flexible" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "flexibility", which ends in "ility".
Correct answer: involves

Explanation: You hear "method involves regular check-ins". You need an action word that ends in s.

Meaning: "involves" means includes or has as part.

Wrong options:

  • involes: It leaves out the "v". Write "involves". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • involve: "involve" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "involves", so write the "s".
Correct answer: time

Explanation: Listen for "feedback in real time". It follows "real", so you need a short thing word.

Meaning: "time" means the moment when something happens or is done.

Wrong options:

  • thyme: This is a different word with the same sound but a different meaning.
Correct answer: agile

Explanation: On the recording you hear "This agile approach will". It comes before "approach", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "agile" means quick to change and adapt.

Wrong options:

  • agil: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "agile". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • fragile: This is a different word and gives a different meaning.
Correct answer: satisfaction

Explanation: Listen again to "collaboration and satisfaction". It comes after "and", so you need a word for a feeling about work.

Meaning: "satisfaction" means the feeling of being happy with the result.

Wrong options:

  • satisfication: It adds an extra "ic" and it leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "satisfaction". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • satisfied: "satisfied" is a close word, but it ends in "ied". The speaker says "satisfaction", which ends in "action".
