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

Explanation: Listen for "a reading challenge designed". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "challenge" means a program to try and complete.

Wrong options:

  • challege: It leaves out the "n". Check the letters: "challenge". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • challange: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "challenge". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: website

Explanation: On the recording you hear "download them from our website". It follows "our", so you need a word for the online place.

Meaning: "website" means the library's pages on the internet.

Wrong options:

  • websit: It leaves out the "e". Write "website". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • site: "site" misses the web part. The sentence needs the online place.
Correct answer: explore

Explanation: Listen again to "books across various genres to explore". The sentence needs an action word that ends in e.

Meaning: "explore" means to try and learn about different types of books.

Wrong options:

  • exlpore: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "explore". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • explain: "explain" has a different meaning. The sentence wants to say try new books.
Correct answer: participants

Explanation: Here you hear "For every five books read, participants will earn". The word means more than one person, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "participants" means the people who join the program.

Wrong options:

  • participents: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "participants". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • participant: "participant" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "participants", so write the "s".
Correct answer: grand

Explanation: The speaker says "win our grand prize at the". You need a short describing word for a big prize.

Meaning: "grand" means large or important here.

Wrong options:

  • grande: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "grand". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • great: "great" is different. The speaker used a word that means very large or special.
Correct answer: meetings

Explanation: You hear "share our experiences at our weekly book club meetings". It comes after "club", so you need more than one time together.

Meaning: "meetings" means the group get-togethers each week.

Wrong options:

  • metings: It leaves out the "e". Write "meetings". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • meeting: "meeting" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "meetings", so write the "s".
