Correct answer: community

Explanation: You hear "sense of community and". It comes after "sense of", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "community" means the group of people living together.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • communion: "communion" is a close word, but it ends in "on". The speaker says "community", which ends in "ty".
Correct answer: tapestry

Explanation: Listen for "multicultural tapestry of". It follows "multicultural", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "tapestry" means a rich mix or pattern of cultures.

Wrong options:

  • tapistry: It has "i" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "tapestry". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: educational

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a fantastic educational resource". It comes before "resource", so you need a word that tells purpose, it ends in al.

Meaning: "educational" means used for teaching or learning.

Wrong options:

  • educative: "educative" is a close word, but it ends in "ve". The speaker says "educational", which ends in "onal".
Correct answer: biodiversity

Explanation: Listen again to "importance of biodiversity". It follows "importance of", so you need a word for a thing, it ends in ty.

Meaning: "biodiversity" means the variety of plant and animal life.

Wrong options:

  • biodiveristy: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "biodiversity". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • diversity: This misses the 'bio' part that means all living things, not just people.
