Correct answer: awareness

Explanation: Listen again to "increase environmental awareness among". The word comes after "environmental", so you need a word for a thing people know about.

Meaning: "awareness" means knowledge or understanding about something.

Wrong options:

  • awarness: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "awareness". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • aware: "aware" is missing the ending. The speaker says "awareness", with "ness" at the end.
Correct answer: transportation

Explanation: Here you hear "waste reduction to eco-friendly transportation". It is a word for getting around, and it ends in tion.

Meaning: "transportation" means ways or systems used to travel or move things.

Wrong options:

  • transportion: It leaves out the "at". Check the letters: "transportation". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • transporting: "transporting" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "transportation", which ends in "ation".
Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: The speaker says "towards a more sustainable lifestyle". It is a describing word after "more", so it ends in able.

Meaning: "sustainable" means can continue for a long time without harm.

Wrong options:

  • sustenable: It has "e" where the word has "ai". The right spelling is "sustainable". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sustainably: "sustainably" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "sustainable", which ends in "e".
Correct answer: healthier

Explanation: You hear "building a healthier future for our planet". It comes after "a", so use a comparative describing word that ends in er.

Meaning: "healthier" means more healthy or better for health.

Wrong options:

  • healther: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "healthier". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • healthy: "healthy" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "healthier", which ends in "ier".
