  • workshop: "workshop" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "workshops", so write the "s".
Correct answer: demonstrations

Explanation: Listen again to "organic cooking demonstrations". You need a word for showing how to do things.

Meaning: "demonstrations" means live shows that teach how to do something.

Wrong options:

  • demonstrtions: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "demonstrations". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
