Meaning: "health" means the state of your body and mind.

Wrong options:

• helth: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "health". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• wealth: This is a different word with a different meaning, not what the sentence needs.

Correct answer: minerals

Explanation: Listen again to "vitamins, and minerals". The speaker lists two things, so you need more than one and it ends in s.

Meaning: "minerals" means natural substances the body needs in small amounts.

Wrong options:

• minarals: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "minerals". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: function

Explanation: Here you hear "for optimal function." After "optimal" you need a word about how things work.

Meaning: "function" means how parts of the body or systems work.

Wrong options:

• fuction: It leaves out the "n". The right spelling is "function". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• functions: "functions" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "function", with no "s".

Correct answer: hydrated

Explanation: The speaker says "stay hydrated and". The sentence needs the state word, so it ends in ed.

Meaning: "hydrated" means having enough water in the body.

Wrong options:

• hidrated: It has "i" where the word has "y". Write "hydrated". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• hydrate: "hydrate" is missing the ending. The speaker says "hydrated", with "d" at the end.

Correct answer: balanced

Explanation: You hear "combined with a balanced diet". After "a" you need a describing word for diet, so use balanced.

Meaning: "balanced" means having the right amounts of different foods.

Wrong options:

• balenced: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "balanced". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• balance: "balance" is missing the ending. The speaker says "balanced", with "d" at the end.
