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

Explanation: On the recording you hear "kick off at the central library". It comes after "central", so a place with books.

Meaning: "library" means a place with many books for reading or borrowing.

Wrong options:

  • libary: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "library". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: bestseller

Explanation: Listen again to "international bestseller lists". It comes before 'lists', so one word for a very popular book.

Meaning: "bestseller" means a book that many people buy and read.

Wrong options:

  • besteller: It leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "bestseller". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • best seller: This is written as two words. The sentence needs one word.
Correct answer: bookshop

Explanation: Here you hear "pop-up bookshop offering signed". It comes after 'pop-up', so one word for a shop that sells books.

Meaning: "bookshop" means a store where people buy books.

Wrong options:

  • book shop: This is two words. The recording uses one word here.
  • bokshop: It leaves out the "o". Check the letters: "bookshop". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: literature

Explanation: The speaker says "love for literature across all". It comes after 'love for', so a word for written works.

Meaning: "literature" means written works such as stories, poems, and novels.

Wrong options:

  • literatur: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "literature". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • literacy: "literacy" is a close word, but it ends in "cy". The speaker says "literature", which ends in "ture".
