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

Explanation: The speaker says "cybersecurity challenges, and". You need a word for problems.

Meaning: "challenges" means problems to solve.

Wrong options:

  • chalenges: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "challenges". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • challenge: "challenge" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "challenges", so write the "s".
Correct answer: artificial

Explanation: You hear "future of artificial intelligence." It comes after "of", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "artificial" means made by humans, not natural.

Wrong options:

  • artifical: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "artificial". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • artillery: This is a different word that sounds similar but means weapons.
Correct answer: workshops

Explanation: Listen for "interactive workshops on coding". It comes after "interactive", so you need more than one.

Meaning: "workshops" means practical group sessions for learning.

Wrong options:

  • workshos: It leaves out the "p". Check the letters: "workshops". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • workshop: "workshop" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "workshops", so write the "s".
Correct answer: networking

Explanation: On the recording you hear "platform for networking, learning". The next word is about meeting people and making contacts.

Meaning: "networking" means meeting people to share ideas and make contacts.

Wrong options:

  • netwoking: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "networking". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • network: "network" is missing the ending. The speaker says "networking", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: opportunities

Explanation: Listen again to "discovering opportunities in the tech". The sentence needs a word for chances or new ideas.

Meaning: "opportunities" means chances to do something new or useful.

Wrong options:

  • oppertunities: It has "e" where the word has "o". The right spelling is "opportunities". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • opportunity: "opportunity" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "opportunities", which ends in "ies".
