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

Explanation: The speaker says "farmers, and food vendors". You need a word for people who sell things, more than one so it ends in s.

Meaning: "vendors" means people who sell goods at the market.

Wrong options:

  • venders: It has "e" where the word has "o". Write "vendors". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • vendor: "vendor" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "vendors", so write the "s".
Correct answer: measures

Explanation: You hear "we'll be implementing extra measures". Choose a word for actions taken, more than one so it ends in s.

Meaning: "measures" means actions taken to protect health and safety.

Wrong options:

  • meassures: It adds an extra "s". Write "measures". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: stations

Explanation: Listen for "including hand sanitising stations". It means places for sanitiser, so add s for more than one.

Meaning: "stations" means places set up for hand cleaning around the market.

Wrong options:

  • staions: It leaves out the "t". The right spelling is "stations". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • station: "station" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "stations", so write the "s".
Correct answer: walking

Explanation: On the recording you hear "one-way walking system". The word shows action and ends in ing.

Meaning: "walking" means moving by foot in a set direction through the market.

Wrong options:

  • walkking: It adds an extra "k". The right spelling is "walking". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • walkway: A walkway is a path, not the action of moving along it.
