Meaning: "alternatives" means other choices you can use instead.

Wrong options:

• alterrnatives: It adds an extra "r". Check the letters: "alternatives". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• alternative: "alternative" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "alternatives", so write the "s".

Correct answer: perception

Explanation: You hear "change in public perception and behaviour". It needs a word for how people think, so spell perception carefully.

Meaning: "perception" means the way people see or understand something.

Wrong options:

• preception: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "perception". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• perspective: This is a different word meaning a viewpoint, not the exact word the speaker used.

Correct answer: adoption

Explanation: Listen for "incentivise the adoption of". The word ends in ion, you need the form that means taking up something.

Meaning: "adoption" means the act of starting to use something new.

Wrong options:

• adopt: "adopt" is missing the ending. The speaker says "adoption", with "ion" at the end.

Correct answer: collective

Explanation: On the recording you hear "our collective efforts to embrace". The sentence needs a word for a shared group effort, so use collective.

Meaning: "collective" means done by the whole group together.

Wrong options:

• collectiv: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "collective". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• collectively: "collectively" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "collective".

Correct answer: sustainability

Explanation: Listen again to "a journey towards sustainability, one where". You need a word for a thing, person or idea that means lasting environmental balance.

Meaning: "sustainability" means keeping things healthy and usable for a long time.

Wrong options:

• sustainaibility: It adds an extra "i". The right spelling is "sustainability". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• sustainable: "sustainable" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "sustainability", which ends in "ility".

Correct answer: commitment

Explanation: Here you hear "reflect this commitment to sustainability". The sentence needs a word for a strong promise or dedication.

Meaning: "commitment" means a promise to do something and stick with it.

Wrong options:

• committment: It adds an extra "t". The right spelling is "commitment". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• commit: "commit" is missing the ending. The speaker says "commitment", with "ment" at the end.
