Correct answer: environment

Explanation: Listen again to "impact on the environment". It comes after "the", so pick a word for the natural world.

Meaning: "environment" means the natural world around us.

Wrong options:

  • enviroment: It leaves out the "n". Write "environment". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • enviornment: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "environment". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: containers

Explanation: Here you hear "reusable food containers". The word after "food" must be more than one object, so add s.

Meaning: "containers" means objects used to hold or store food.

Wrong options:

  • conteners: It has "e" where the word has "ai". Check the letters: "containers". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: experts

Explanation: The speaker says "partnered with environmental experts". The word needs to mean people, so not only one.

Meaning: "experts" means people with special knowledge in a field.

Wrong options:

  • expert: "expert" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "experts", so write the "s".
  • expertes: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "experts". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
