Correct answer: flexible

Explanation: You hear "a flexible remote". You need a describing word for the policy.

Meaning: "flexible" means able to change or adapt easily.

Wrong options:

  • flexable: It has "a" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "flexible". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • flexibility: "flexibility" is a close word, but it ends in "ility". The speaker says "flexible", which ends in "le".
Correct answer: productivity

Explanation: Listen for "maintain productivity and". You need a word for work results or output.

Meaning: "productivity" means how much work gets done.

Wrong options:

  • productivty: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "productivity". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • productive: "productive" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "productivity", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: business

Explanation: On the recording you hear "core business hours". The word after "core" is about work time.

Meaning: "business" here means work or company matters.

Wrong options:

  • busines: It leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "business". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • busy: This means active or full. The sentence needs a word about work time.
Correct answer: collaboration

Explanation: Listen again to "digital collaboration platforms". After "digital" you need a word about working together, it ends in tion.

Meaning: "collaboration" means working together with others.

Wrong options:

  • collaberation: It has "e" where the word has "o". The right spelling is "collaboration". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • collaborative: "collaborative" is a close word, but it ends in "ve". The speaker says "collaboration", which ends in "on".
Correct answer: teamwork

Explanation: Here you hear "values of teamwork and". You need a word for working together as a group.

Meaning: "teamwork" means people working together towards a goal.

Wrong options:

  • team work: This splits the word in two. It is one word. Write "teamwork". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • team: "team" is missing the ending. The speaker says "teamwork", with "work" at the end.
