AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: lending

Explanation: You hear "new digital lending service". It comes after "digital", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "lending" means allowing people to borrow items.

Wrong options:

  • lendig: It leaves out the "n". Write "lending". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • landing: It sounds similar but means a place to land, not lending.
Correct answer: audiobooks

Explanation: Listen for "borrow eBooks and audiobooks from". After "and" you need more than one, so do not forget s.

Meaning: "audiobooks" means books in audio form that you can listen to.

Wrong options:

  • audioboks: It leaves out the "o". The right spelling is "audiobooks". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • audiobook: "audiobook" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "audiobooks", so write the "s".
Correct answer: genres

Explanation: On the recording you hear "across various genres". After "various" you need a word for more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "genres" means types or categories of books.

Wrong options:

  • geners: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "genres". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • genre: "genre" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "genres", so write the "s".
Correct answer: everyone

Explanation: Listen again to "has something for everyone." It comes after "for", so you need a word for people.

Meaning: "everyone" means all people or every person.

Wrong options:

  • everyon: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "everyone". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • everywon: It adds an extra "w" and it leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "everyone". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
