Correct answer: creativity

Explanation: On the recording you hear "combines science and creativity". After "and" you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "creativity" means the ability to make new ideas or designs.

Wrong options:

  • creatvity: It leaves out the "i". Write "creativity". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • creative: "creative" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "creativity", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: lye

Explanation: Listen again to "oils, lye, and water". It is a short word for a chemical, spelled l y e.

Meaning: "lye" means a strong chemical used to turn fats into soap.

Wrong options:

  • ly: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "lye". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • lie: "Lie" is a different word with another meaning, not the chemical.
Correct answer: temperature

Explanation: Here you hear "at the right temperature". You need a word that tells how hot or cold.

Meaning: "temperature" means how hot or cold something is.

Wrong options:

  • temprature: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "temperature". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: paramount

Explanation: The speaker says "Safety is paramount, so please". You need a strong word that means very important.

Meaning: "paramount" means more important than anything else.

Wrong options:

  • paramont: It leaves out the "u". Check the letters: "paramount". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: unique

Explanation: You hear "create unique products". It is a describing word that means one of a kind.

Meaning: "unique" means one of a kind, not like the others.

Wrong options:

  • uniqe: It leaves out the "u". Write "unique". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
