Meaning: "light" means make bright.

Wrong options:

• lighht: It adds an extra "h". The right spelling is "light". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• lights: "lights" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "light", with no "s".

Correct answer: graces

Explanation: The speaker says "that graces our skies". It follows "that", so you need a present action word that ends in s.

Meaning: "graces" means visits in a pleasing way.

Wrong options:

• graecs: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "graces". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• grace: "grace" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "graces", so write the "s".

Correct answer: reflects

Explanation: You hear "dust, reflects the sun's". After the comma you need an action word that ends in s.

Meaning: "reflects" means bounces back the light.

Wrong options:

• relects: It leaves out the "f". The right spelling is "reflects". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• reflect: "reflect" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "reflects", so write the "s".

Correct answer: spectacular

Explanation: Listen for "offering a spectacular view". The word comes after "a", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "spectacular" means very impressive or striking.

Wrong options:

• spectular: It leaves out the "ac". The right spelling is "spectacular". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• spectacularly: "spectacularly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "spectacular".

Correct answer: contributing

Explanation: On the recording you hear "story, contributing to the". After the comma the sentence needs an action word ending in ing.

Meaning: "contributing" means adding to something.

Wrong options:

• contribuiting: It adds an extra "i". Check the letters: "contributing". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• contribute: "contribute" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "contributing", which ends in "ing".
