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

Explanation: Here you hear "vast collection of books". You need a word for a thing, not an action.

Meaning: "books" means printed or digital stories and information items.

Wrong options:

  • boks: It leaves out the "o". Check the letters: "books". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • book: "book" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "books", so write the "s".
Correct answer: workshops

Explanation: The speaker says "offer weekly workshops, author readings". "weekly" is before it, so you need more than one.

Meaning: "workshops" means sessions where people learn or practice skills.

Wrong options:

  • workshps: It leaves out the "o". Write "workshops". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • workshop: "workshop" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "workshops", so write the "s".
Correct answer: local

Explanation: You hear "dedicated to local history". It comes after "dedicated to", so you need a word for a nearby place or area.

Meaning: "local" means relating to this town or neighbourhood.

Wrong options:

  • lokal: It has "k" where the word has "c". Write "local". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • locals: "locals" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "local", with no "s".
Correct answer: grants

Explanation: Listen for "funded by both government grants and". You need a money help word, and it ends in s.

Meaning: "grants" means money given to support the project.

Wrong options:

  • grnts: It leaves out the "a". Write "grants". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • grant: "grant" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "grants", so write the "s".
