Correct answer: recreational

Explanation: Listen again to "educational and recreational activities." You need a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "recreational" means for fun or leisure activities.

Wrong options:

  • recereational: It adds an extra "e". Write "recreational". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • recreation: "recreation" is missing the ending. The speaker says "recreational", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: library

Explanation: Here you hear "state-of-the-art library, a variety". It comes after "state-of-the-art", so you need a place with books.

Meaning: "library" means a place where books and resources are kept for reading or borrowing.

Wrong options:

  • libary: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "library". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • libraries: "libraries" is a close word, but it ends in "ies". The speaker says "library", which ends in "y".
Correct answer: togetherness

Explanation: The speaker says "a sense of togetherness, offering programs". You need a feeling word that ends in ness.

Meaning: "togetherness" means a feeling of closeness and being connected.

Wrong options:

  • togehterness: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "togetherness". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • together: "together" is missing the ending. The speaker says "togetherness", with "ness" at the end.
Correct answer: community

Explanation: You hear "cornerstone of community". It comes after "of", so you need a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "community" means the people who live in the same area and their shared life.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • communal: "communal" is a close word, but it ends in "al". The speaker says "community", which ends in "ity".
