Meaning: "businesses" means more than one company or organisation.

Wrong options:

• busineses: It leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "businesses". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• business: "business" has no "es" at the end. The speaker says "businesses", so write the "es".

Correct answer: passwords

Explanation: Listen for "create strong passwords that". The sentence needs more than one, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "passwords" means secret words you use to log in.

Wrong options:

• paswords: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "passwords". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• password: "password" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "passwords", so write the "s".

Correct answer: significance

Explanation: On the recording you hear "overlook the significance of". The sentence needs a word for a thing, not a describing word.

Meaning: "significance" means the importance or value of something.

Wrong options:

• signficance: It leaves out the "i". Write "significance". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• significant: "significant" is a close word, but it ends in "t". The speaker says "significance", which ends in "ce".

Correct answer: access

Explanation: Listen again to "prevent unauthorised access". The sentence needs the plain word access. Do not add an s.

Meaning: "access" means the ability to get into or use something.

Wrong options:

• acces: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "access". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• accesses: "accesses" has an extra "es" at the end. The speaker says "access", with no "es".

Correct answer: cybersecurity

Explanation: Here you hear "latest cybersecurity trends". You need the single word cybersecurity, not two separate words.

Meaning: "cybersecurity" means the steps to protect computers and online data.
