Correct answer: biodegradable

Explanation: On the recording you hear "from biodegradable cleaning supplies". You need a describing word for materials, ends in able.

Meaning: "biodegradable" means it breaks down naturally over time.

Wrong options:

  • biodegredable: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "biodegradable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • biodegrable: It leaves out the "da". Check the letters: "biodegradable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: quality

Explanation: Listen again to "compromise on quality or style". After "on" you need a word for a thing, not an amount.

Meaning: "quality" means how good something is.

Wrong options:

  • qualty: It leaves out the "i". Write "quality". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • quantity: Quantity means amount, not how good something is.
Correct answer: sourced

Explanation: Here you hear "has been carefully sourced to". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "sourced" means the materials were obtained from specific places.

Wrong options:

  • sorced: It leaves out the "u". The right spelling is "sourced". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sourcing: "sourcing" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "sourced", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: loyalty

Explanation: The speaker says "customer loyalty program". You need a word meaning repeat support for a brand.

Meaning: "loyalty" means faithfulness to a brand or company.

Wrong options:

  • loyaltee: It has "ee" where the word has "y". Check the letters: "loyalty". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • royalty: Royalty is a payment or fee, not a customer reward program.
Correct answer: commitment

Explanation: You hear "furthering our commitment to sustainability". The sentence needs a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "commitment" means a promise to keep doing something.

Wrong options:

  • comitment: It leaves out the "m". The right spelling is "commitment". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • commit: "commit" is missing the ending. The speaker says "commitment", with "ment" at the end.
Correct answer: recyclable

Explanation: Listen for "made from recyclable materials". You need a describing word that ends in able.

Meaning: "recyclable" means it can be processed and used again.

Wrong options:

  • recycable: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "recyclable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • recycled: "recycled" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "recyclable", which ends in "able".
