Correct answer: community

Explanation: Listen again to "and community groups." After "and" you need a word for a group.

Meaning: "community" means a group of people living in one place.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • communal: "communal" is a close word, but it ends in "al". The speaker says "community", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: diverse

Explanation: Here you hear "town's diverse culture." You need a describing word that shows many kinds.

Meaning: "diverse" means having many different kinds together.

Correct answer: concluded

Explanation: The speaker says "event concluded with". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "concluded" means it finished or came to an end.

Wrong options:

  • conclud: It leaves out the "ed". Write "concluded". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • concludes: "concludes" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "concluded", which ends in "d".
Correct answer: memorable

Explanation: You hear "a memorable evening." You need a describing word that shows worth remembering.

Meaning: "memorable" means worth remembering or not easily forgotten.

Wrong options:

  • memorible: It has "i" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "memorable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • forgettable: 'forgettable' has the opposite meaning and is not right here.
