Correct answer: literature

Explanation: Here you hear "through literature". It comes after "through", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "literature" means books and written works from different places.

Wrong options:

  • litereature: It adds an extra "e". Check the letters: "literature". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • literary: "literary" is a close word, but it ends in "ry". The speaker says "literature", which ends in "ture".
Correct answer: exchange

Explanation: The speaker says "share, and exchange perspectives". You need an action word here.

Meaning: "exchange" means to give and take ideas with others.

Wrong options:

  • exhange: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "exchange". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • change: "change" does not mean give and take ideas, so it is wrong here.
Correct answer: inclusive

Explanation: You hear "a more inclusive society". You need a describing word, so it ends in ive.

Meaning: "inclusive" means open and welcoming to many different people.

Wrong options:

  • inclusiv: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "inclusive". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • exclusive: "exclusive" means only some people, which is the opposite of the idea here.
Correct answer: enlightening

Explanation: Listen for "this enlightening journey". You need a describing word and it ends in ing.

Meaning: "enlightening" means giving new understanding or knowledge.

Wrong options:

  • enlightning: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "enlightening". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • enlightened: "enlightened" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "enlightening", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: enrich

Explanation: On the recording you hear "let's enrich our world". You need an action word that means make better.

Meaning: "enrich" means to make something better or more valuable.
