Meaning: "swap" means to give one thing and take another.

Correct answer: exchange

Explanation: On the recording you hear "and exchange it for". You need an action word that means give one thing and get another.

Meaning: "exchange" means to give something and receive something else in return.

Wrong options:

• exhange: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "exchange". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• change: Sounds like it but means make different, not trade one item for another.

Correct answer: bookshelf

Explanation: Listen again to "set up a small bookshelf in". The missing word is a name for a simple thing that holds books.

Meaning: "bookshelf" means a piece of furniture for holding books.

Wrong options:

• book self: It adds an extra " " and it leaves out the "h". Write "bookshelf". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• bookshelves: "bookshelves" is a close word, but it ends in "ves". The speaker says "bookshelf", which ends in "f".

Correct answer: overwhelming

Explanation: Here you hear "The response was overwhelming." You need a describing word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "overwhelming" means very strong or very large in amount.

Wrong options:

• overwelming: It leaves out the "h". Check the letters: "overwhelming". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• overwhelmed: "overwhelmed" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "overwhelming", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: joy

Explanation: The speaker says "spread the joy of reading". After "the" you need a word for a happy feeling.

Meaning: "joy" means a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

Wrong options:

• joi: It has "i" where the word has "y". The right spelling is "joy". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• joys: This is more than one. The sentence needs the idea as a single feeling.
