Meaning: "beef" means meat from a cow.

Wrong options:

• beaf: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "beef". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• beet: This is a vegetable. The sentence needs meat.

Correct answer: sheets

Explanation: The speaker says "layering the pasta sheets". "pasta" comes before it, so you need more than one, do not forget the s.

Meaning: "sheets" means flat pasta layers used in a dish.

Wrong options:

• sheats: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "sheets". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• sheet: "sheet" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "sheets", so write the "s".

Correct answer: taste

Explanation: You hear "it was time to taste". It comes after "to", so you need an action word, the plain word.

Meaning: "taste" means to try the food to check the flavour.

Wrong options:

• tast: It leaves out the "e". Write "taste". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: bite

Explanation: Listen for "The first bite took". It is a small thing you put in your mouth, so use that short word.

Meaning: "bite" means a small mouthful of food.

Wrong options:

• biet: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "bite". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• byte: This is a computer term, not something you eat.
