Meaning: "modern" means new style.

Wrong options:

• modren: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "modern". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: herbs

Explanation: On the recording you hear "selecting the freshest herbs and vegetables". It comes after "freshest", so add s for more than one.

Meaning: "herbs" means small green plants used for cooking.

Wrong options:

• hebs: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "herbs". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• herb: "herb" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "herbs", so write the "s".

Correct answer: spices

Explanation: Listen again to "balancing the spices to achieve". The line needs more than one flavour item, so add s.

Meaning: "spices" means flavouring seeds or powders.

Wrong options:

• spicies: It adds an extra "i". Check the letters: "spices". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• spice: "spice" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "spices", so write the "s".

Correct answer: handmade

Explanation: Here you hear "The pasta, handmade and delicate". It follows "The pasta," so a describing word fits.

Meaning: "handmade" means made by hand.

Wrong options:

• hand made: This splits the word in two. It is one word. The right spelling is "handmade". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• homemade: This means made at home, not necessarily by hand.

Correct answer: leaves

Explanation: The speaker says "garnish with basil leaves for a pop". The word is more than one green part, so add s.

Meaning: "leaves" means the green parts of the basil plant.

Wrong options:

• leafs: It has "f" where the word has "ve". The right spelling is "leaves". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• leaf: The sentence needs more than one.
