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

Explanation: The speaker says "not only delicious but also environmentally responsible". You need a describing word that follows "environmentally".

Meaning: "responsible" means careful about the planet and its needs.

Wrong options:

  • responsable: It has "a" where the word has "i". Write "responsible". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • responsibly: "responsibly" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "responsible", which ends in "e".
Correct answer: compostable

Explanation: You hear "to compostable packaging". It asks for a word for packaging that can break down, so it ends in able.

Meaning: "compostable" means it can break down safely and become compost.

Wrong options:

  • composable: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "compostable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • disposable: "disposable" is the opposite idea. The speaker means packaging that can break down.
Correct answer: reusable

Explanation: Listen for "their own reusable cups". This is a describing word meaning used again, so it ends in able.

Meaning: "reusable" means something you can use again many times.

Wrong options:

  • reuseable: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "reusable". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: time

Explanation: On the recording you hear "coffee at a time". It uses a small unit word, not the herb that sounds the same.

Meaning: "time" means one occasion or moment.

Wrong options:

  • timme: It adds an extra "m". Write "time". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • thyme: "thyme" is the herb and has a different meaning from the small unit 'time'.
