Correct answer: control

Explanation: Listen again to "organic pest control". After "pest" the next word names a thing to manage.

Meaning: "control" means the act of stopping or managing pests.

Wrong options:

  • controls: "controls" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "control", with no "s".
Correct answer: gardens

Explanation: Here you hear "water-efficient gardens". The speaker used more than one, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "gardens" means planted outdoor areas with plants and flowers.

Wrong options:

  • gardnes: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "gardens". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • garden: "garden" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "gardens", so write the "s".
Correct answer: knowledge

Explanation: The speaker says "share knowledge and". That word names a thing people give and receive.

Meaning: "knowledge" means information and facts people know about something.

Wrong options:

  • knowlege: It leaves out the "d". Check the letters: "knowledge". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: gardening

Explanation: You hear "passion for gardening". The word is the activity form and ends in ing.

Meaning: "gardening" means growing and looking after plants.

Wrong options:

  • gardenning: It adds an extra "n". Write "gardening". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • garden: "garden" is missing the ending. The speaker says "gardening", with "ing" at the end.
