Meaning: "released" means made public or put out to everyone.

Wrong options:

• relased: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "released". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• release: "release" is missing the ending. The speaker says "released", with "d" at the end.

Correct answer: reduction

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a drastic reduction in greenhouse-gas". It comes after "drastic", so you need a thing word ending in tion.

Meaning: "reduction" means a fall or decrease in amount.

Wrong options:

• reducion: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "reduction". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: probably

Explanation: Listen again to "temperatures will probably be". You need a word that tells how likely, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "probably" means likely to happen.

Wrong options:

• probebly: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "probably". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• possibly: This is a different word. The recording uses the word 'probably'.

Correct answer: consequences

Explanation: Here you hear "environmental consequences that brings". It follows "environmental", so you need more than one thing, do not forget the s.

Meaning: "consequences" means the results or effects of something.

Wrong options:

• consequenses: It has "s" where the word has "c". Write "consequences". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• consequence: "consequence" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "consequences", so write the "s".

Correct answer: limited

Explanation: The speaker says "can be limited if the world". This is a describing word, so it ends in ed.

Meaning: "limited" means kept small or controlled.

Wrong options:

• limitted: It adds an extra "t". Check the letters: "limited". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• limit: "limit" is missing the ending. The speaker says "limited", with "ed" at the end.
