Correct answer: unique

Explanation: You hear "provides a unique overview". The sentence needs a word for one of a kind.

Meaning: "unique" means one of a kind.

Wrong options:

  • uniqe: It leaves out the "u". Write "unique". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • unqiue: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "unique". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: delivered

Explanation: Listen for "to be delivered by the". The word is an action here, so watch the e spelling.

Meaning: "delivered" means given or presented.

Wrong options:

  • delievered: It adds an extra "e". Check the letters: "delivered". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • deliverd: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "delivered". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: unemployment

Explanation: On the recording you hear "such as the unemployment rate". The sentence needs the word for people without work.

Meaning: "unemployment" means the number of people without jobs.

Wrong options:

  • unemployement: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "unemployment". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • employment: This is the opposite. The sentence needs the number of people without jobs.
Correct answer: satisfaction

Explanation: Listen again to "for example, satisfaction with our". The sentence needs a word for the feeling, not a describing form.

Meaning: "satisfaction" means the feeling of being pleased.

Wrong options:

  • satifaction: It leaves out the "s". Write "satisfaction". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • satisfied: "satisfied" is a close word, but it ends in "ied". The speaker says "satisfaction", which ends in "action".
