Wrong options:

• countertop: "countertop" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "countertops", so write the "s".

Correct answer: house

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a quaint summer house". The word after summer is a place to live, so use the simple house word.

Meaning: "house" means a separate building for people to live in.

Wrong options:

• home: Home is a similar idea but the sentence lists a specific small building, so house fits better.
• hous: It leaves out the "e". Write "house". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: fittings

• fiting: It leaves out the "t" and it leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "fittings". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
