Meaning: "modern" means new or up to date.

Wrong options:

• modren: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "modern". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: wellness

Explanation: Listen again to "promotes community wellness through outdoor". It comes after "community", so you need a word that names a state and ends in ness.

Meaning: "wellness" means good health and general well being.

Wrong options:

• wellnes: It leaves out the "s". Write "wellness". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• well-being: The speaker said wellness, not the hyphenated form.

Correct answer: expanded

Explanation: Here you hear "are being expanded to reduce carbon". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "expanded" means made larger or increased in size.

Wrong options:

• expaned: It leaves out the "d". Write "expanded". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• expand: "expand" is missing the ending. The speaker says "expanded", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: practices

Explanation: The speaker says "programs on sustainability practices are available". You need a word for actions and it is more than one.

Meaning: "practices" means the actions or ways people do things.

Wrong options:

• practises: It has "s" where the word has "c". Check the letters: "practices". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• practice: "practice" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "practices", so write the "s".

Correct answer: commitment

Explanation: You hear "commitment to eco-conscious". This is a word for a strong promise.

Meaning: "commitment" means a strong promise or dedication.

Wrong options:

• comittment: It leaves out the "m" and it adds an extra "t". Write "commitment". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• commitments: "commitments" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "commitment", with no "s".
