Meaning: "sleek" means smooth, modern and stylish in look.

Wrong options:

• sleak: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "sleek". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• slick: The speaker said sleek, not slick, so this different word gets no mark.

Correct answer: seating

Explanation: Listen for "extra workspace and seating." It comes after "and," so use an action word ending in ing.

Meaning: "seating" means places where people can sit.

Wrong options:

• seeting: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "seating". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• seats: "seats" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "seating", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: stylish

Explanation: On the recording you hear "durable, stylish tiles." It follows "durable," so you need a word for look.

Meaning: "stylish" means fashionable and good looking.

Wrong options:

• styleish: It adds an extra "e". Write "stylish". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• stylishly: "stylishly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "stylish".

Correct answer: install

Explanation: Listen again to "plan to install energy-efficient LED". It comes after "to," so the word is an action.

Meaning: "install" means to put equipment in place so it works.

Wrong options:

• instal: It leaves out the "l". Write "install". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• installing: "installing" has an extra "ing" at the end. The speaker says "install".

Correct answer: backsplash

Explanation: Here you hear "a new backsplash." It follows "new," so you need a word for a wall.

Meaning: "backsplash" means the wall area behind a sink or stove that protects from splashes.

Wrong options:

• backsplah: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "backsplash". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• back splash: The recording has one word backsplash, not two words, so this gets no mark.
