Correct answer: need

Explanation: Listen again to "those in need". You need a short word for people who lack help.

Meaning: "need" means lacking something important.

Wrong options:

  • ned: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "need". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • needs: "needs" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "need", with no "s".
Correct answer: community

Explanation: Here you hear "at the community centre". It comes after "the", so you need the place where people live together.

Meaning: "community" means the people living in one area.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • communal: "communal" is a close word, but it ends in "al". The speaker says "community", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: option

Explanation: The speaker says "a more challenging 10 option". After the number you need a word for a choice, it ends in ion.

Meaning: "option" means a choice you can pick.

Wrong options:

  • optin: It leaves out the "o". Check the letters: "option". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • options: "options" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "option", with no "s".
Correct answer: assistance

Explanation: You hear "medical assistance will be". After "medical" you need a word for help, it ends in ance.

Meaning: "assistance" means help or support.

Wrong options:

  • assistence: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "assistance". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • assists: "assists" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "assistance", which ends in "ance".
Correct answer: participate

Explanation: Listen for "wish to participate remotely". After 'to' you need an action word, it ends in ate.

Meaning: "participate" means to join in the event.

Wrong options:

  • partcipate: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "participate". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • participating: "participating" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "participate", which ends in "e".
Correct answer: funds

Explanation: On the recording you hear "awareness and funds for a". You need more than one, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "funds" means money collected for a cause.

Wrong options:

  • funs: It leaves out the "d". Write "funds". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • fund: "fund" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "funds", so write the "s".
