Correct answer: strength

Explanation: On the recording you hear "such as cardio, strength training, and". It comes before training, so a word for a thing.

Meaning: "strength" means muscle power.

Wrong options:

  • strenght: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "strength". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • strengths: "strengths" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "strength", with no "s".
Correct answer: significantly

Explanation: Listen again to "can significantly enhance your overall". You need a word that tells how or how much, so the word ends in ly.

Meaning: "significantly" means by a large amount.

Wrong options:

  • significently: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "significantly". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • significant: "significant" is missing the ending. The speaker says "significantly", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: motion

Explanation: Here you hear "range of motion." It comes after "of", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "motion" means movement.

Wrong options:

  • moton: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "motion". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • motions: "motions" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "motion", with no "s".
Correct answer: boredom

Explanation: The speaker says "prevent boredom and promote long-term". You need a word for a feeling, not a describing word.

Meaning: "boredom" means the feeling of being uninterested.

Wrong options:

  • bordom: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "boredom". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • boring: "Boring" describes something. The sentence needs the feeling word.
Correct answer: active

Explanation: You hear "staying active." It comes after "staying", so a describing word is needed.

Meaning: "active" means moving or exercising.

Wrong options:

  • acitve: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "active". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • activity: "activity" is a close word, but it ends in "ity". The speaker says "active", which ends in "e".
