Correct answer: flexibility

Explanation: Listen for "offering flexibility, reduced". You need a word for a thing, not the describing word flexible.

Meaning: "flexibility" means the ability to change or adapt easily.

Wrong options:

  • flexibilty: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "flexibility". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • flexible: "flexible" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "flexibility", which ends in "ility".
Correct answer: commute

Explanation: On the recording you hear "reduced commute times, and". The word is for travel to work, watch the middle letters.

Meaning: "commute" means the regular trip to and from work.

Wrong options:

  • comute: It leaves out the "m". Check the letters: "commute". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • compute: Compute means to calculate, not to travel to work.
Correct answer: collaboration

Explanation: Listen again to "global collaboration without". The sentence needs a word for working together as a thing.

Meaning: "collaboration" means working together with others.

Wrong options:

  • collabaration: It has "a" where the word has "o". Write "collaboration". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • collaborate: "collaborate" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "collaboration", which ends in "ion".
Correct answer: productivity

Explanation: Here you hear "boosts productivity and comfort". You need a word for a thing that shows output and results.

Meaning: "productivity" means how much useful work someone does.

Wrong options:

  • productivty: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "productivity". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • productive: "productive" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "productivity", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: workforce

Explanation: The speaker says "maintaining a happier workforce". The phrase has "a" before it, so use the single group word.

Meaning: "workforce" means the people employed by a company or group.

Wrong options:

  • workfore: It leaves out the "c". Write "workforce". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • workforces: "workforces" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "workforce", with no "s".
