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

Explanation: You hear "inviting participants to". It comes after "inviting", so you need a word for people taking part.

Meaning: "participants" means people who take part.

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: explore

Explanation: Listen for "to explore various genres". It comes after "to", so you need an action word.

Meaning: "explore" means to look into or try new things.

Wrong options:

  • exlore: It leaves out the "p". The right spelling is "explore". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • experience: The sentence needs the action 'explore', not 'experience'.
Correct answer: science

Explanation: On the recording you hear "from mystery to science fiction". The sentence needs a type-of-fiction word that sits before 'fiction'.

Meaning: "science" means about study of nature and technology.

Wrong options:

  • sciene: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "science". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • scientific: "scientific" is a close word, but it ends in "tific". The speaker says "science", which ends in "ce".
Correct answer: recommendations

Explanation: Listen again to "and offer recommendations". After "offer", you need a word for suggestions, and remember the s at the end.

Meaning: "recommendations" means suggestions of books to read.

Wrong options:

  • recomendations: It leaves out the "m". Check the letters: "recommendations". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • recommendation: "recommendation" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "recommendations", so write the "s".
Correct answer: children

Explanation: Here you hear "a storytelling session for children". Because it follows "for", you need a word for more than one young person.

Meaning: "children" means young people under the age of 12.

Wrong options:

  • childrens: It adds an extra "s". Check the letters: "children". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • child: "child" is missing the ending. The speaker says "children", with "ren" at the end.
