Meaning: "dramatic" means a big or sudden change.

Wrong options:

• dramtatic: It adds an extra "t". Check the letters: "dramatic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• dramatically: "dramatically" has an extra "ally" at the end. The speaker says "dramatic".

Correct answer: weather

Explanation: Here you hear "extreme weather events". It comes after 'extreme', so you need a word for climate conditions.

Meaning: "weather" means the state of the air and temperature.

Wrong options:

• wheather: It adds an extra "h". The right spelling is "weather". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• whether: It is a different word and meaning, not about climate.

Correct answer: unpredictability

Explanation: The speaker says "increased unpredictability of rainfall". The word ends in ity.

Meaning: "unpredictability" means not able to know what will happen.

Wrong options:

• unpredicatability: It adds an extra "a". Write "unpredictability". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• unpredictable: "unpredictable" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "unpredictability", which ends in "ility".

Correct answer: emissions

Explanation: You hear "reducing carbon emissions". It comes after 'carbon', so you need more than one and keep the s.

Meaning: "emissions" means gases sent out into the air.

Wrong options:

• emmisions: It adds an extra "m" and it leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "emissions". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• emission: "emission" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "emissions", so write the "s".
