Correct answer: reusable

Explanation: Listen for "with reusable ones". It comes after with, so you need a word for a thing you use again.

Meaning: "reusable" means able to be used again.

Wrong options:

  • reusuable: It adds an extra "u". Check the letters: "reusable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: waste

Explanation: On the recording you hear "handle electronic waste". The sentence needs the general idea of rubbish, not more than one item.

Meaning: "waste" means rubbish or things to throw away.

Wrong options:

  • waaste: It adds an extra "a". Write "waste". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • wastes: "wastes" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "waste", with no "s".
Correct answer: footprint

Explanation: Listen again to "reducing our environmental footprint". You need a single word for the company effect on the planet.

Meaning: "footprint" means the effect something has on the environment.

Wrong options:

  • footpritn: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "footprint". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: park

Explanation: Here you hear "the local park". It comes after at the local, so you need the place word park.

Meaning: "park" means a public green area for the community.
