Correct answer: resources

Explanation: On the recording you hear "audiobooks, and online resources". It comes after "online", so you need a word for library things.

Meaning: "resources" means things and services you can use at the library.

Wrong options:

  • resourses: It has "s" where the word has "c". The right spelling is "resources". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • courses: 'courses' is a different word about classes, not library items.
Correct answer: workshops

Explanation: Listen again to "hosts regular workshops and events." The sentence needs a word for organised learning sessions.

Meaning: "workshops" means group sessions where people learn or practise skills.

Wrong options:

  • workshopses: It adds an extra "es". Write "workshops". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: learning

Explanation: Here you hear "reading and learning." The word follows 'and', so you need a word about gaining knowledge.

Meaning: "learning" means gaining new knowledge or skills.

Wrong options:

  • leaning: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "learning". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • reading: 'reading' is already used. The sentence needs a different idea about gaining knowledge.
Correct answer: community

Explanation: The speaker says "connect with the community." It follows 'the', so the word means local people.

Meaning: "community" means the local group of people living nearby.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • company: 'company' means a business, not the local group of people.
Correct answer: professionals

Explanation: You hear "students and professionals alike." The word is more than one, so it ends in s.

Meaning: "professionals" means people who work in skilled jobs.

Wrong options:

  • proffessionals: It adds an extra "f". Write "professionals". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • professional: "professional" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "professionals", so write the "s".
Correct answer: research

Explanation: Listen for "assist with research or recommend". The word comes after 'with', so you need an action about finding information.

Meaning: "research" means the work of finding information carefully.

Wrong options:

  • reseach: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "research". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
