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

Explanation: Here you hear "'Read Together, Grow Together' initiative will". It comes after the title, so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "initiative" means a planned action or project.

Wrong options:

  • initative: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "initiative". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: interactive

Explanation: The speaker says "planned interactive workshops where". It comes before workshops, so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "interactive" means people join in and take part.

Wrong options:

  • interective: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "interactive". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • interesting: Interesting describes how things feel, not that people take part.
Correct answer: literary

Explanation: You hear "from various literary backgrounds including". It comes before backgrounds, so you need a word about books and writing.

Meaning: "literary" means about books and writing.

Wrong options:

  • litterary: It adds an extra "t". Check the letters: "literary". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • literate: "literate" is a close word, but it ends in "te". The speaker says "literary", which ends in "ry".
Correct answer: bookshops

Explanation: Listen for "partnership with local bookshops offering". It comes after local, so you need more than one place. Do not forget the s.

Meaning: "bookshops" means shops that sell books.

Wrong options:

  • bookshopp: It has "p" where the word has "s". Write "bookshops". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • bookshop: "bookshop" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "bookshops", so write the "s".
