Correct answer: identity

Explanation: Listen again to "the search for identity across". The sentence needs a word for who someone is, not an action or place.

Meaning: "identity" means who a person is or how they see themselves here.

Wrong options:

  • identitiy: It adds an extra "i". The right spelling is "identity". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • identify: "identify" is a close word, but it ends in "fy". The speaker says "identity", which ends in "ty".
Correct answer: belonging

Explanation: Here you hear "family and belonging". You want a word for being part of a group, ends in ing.

Meaning: "belonging" means feeling part of a group or place.

Wrong options:

  • belong: "belong" is missing the ending. The speaker says "belonging", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: heritage

Explanation: The speaker says "connect us to our heritage". It asks for a word for our cultural past or background.

Meaning: "heritage" means the traditions and history we get from the past.

Wrong options:

  • heritige: It has "i" where the word has "a". Write "heritage". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • heritages: "heritages" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "heritage", with no "s".
