Correct answer: life

Explanation: The speaker says "enhancing the quality of life for". It comes after "quality of", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "life" means the everyday living of people.

Wrong options:

  • lyfe: It has "y" where the word has "i". Write "life". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • lives: This is more than one. The sentence needs the general idea, not more than one.
Correct answer: quality

Explanation: You hear "improve air quality". It follows "air", so you need a word about how good.

Meaning: "quality" means how good something is.

Wrong options:

  • quallity: It adds an extra "l". Write "quality". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • quantity: That means amount, not how good something is.
Correct answer: wellness

Explanation: Listen for "promote mental wellness." You need a word for mind health, it ends in ness.

Meaning: "wellness" means good mental health.

Wrong options:

  • wellnes: It leaves out the "s". Write "wellness". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • well-being: This is a different form of the idea. The recording uses the single word here.
Correct answer: living

Explanation: On the recording you hear "sustainable urban living". It comes after "urban", so you need a word about the way people live.

Meaning: "living" means how people live in cities.

Wrong options:
