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

Explanation: The speaker says "enhance our patrons' experience". It comes after patrons', so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "experience" means what someone feels or learns from using the library.

Wrong options:

  • experiance: It has "a" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "experience". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • experiences: "experiences" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "experience", with no "s".
Correct answer: upgraded

Explanation: You hear "has been upgraded allowing". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "upgraded" means made better or improved.

Wrong options:

  • upgradded: It adds an extra "d". Check the letters: "upgraded". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • upgrade: "upgrade" is missing the ending. The speaker says "upgraded", with "d" at the end.
Correct answer: literacy

Explanation: Listen for "improving digital literacy among". It comes after digital, so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "literacy" means the skill to use and understand digital tools.

Wrong options:

  • litercy: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "literacy". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • literature: "literature" is a close word, but it ends in "ture". The speaker says "literacy", which ends in "cy".
Correct answer: foster

Explanation: On the recording you hear "designed to foster a love". After "to" you need an action word in its basic form.

Meaning: "foster" means to encourage or help develop something.

Wrong options:

  • fostor: It has "o" where the word has "e". Write "foster". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • fosters: "fosters" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "foster", with no "s".
Correct answer: activities

Explanation: Listen again to "reading through engaging activities". "activities" is more than one, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "activities" means fun tasks or events for children.

Wrong options:

  • activites: It leaves out the "i". Write "activities". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • activity: "activity" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "activities", which ends in "ies".
Correct answer: accessible

Explanation: Here you hear "more accessible to everyone". It comes after more, so use a describing word that ends in ble.

Meaning: "accessible" means easy for people to use or reach.

Wrong options:

  • accessable: It has "a" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "accessible". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • accessibility: "accessibility" is a close word, but it ends in "ility". The speaker says "accessible", which ends in "le".
