Meaning: "distinguished" means famous and respected here.

Wrong options:

• distunguished: It has "u" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "distinguished". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• distinguish: "distinguish" is missing the ending. The speaker says "distinguished", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: raise

Explanation: On the recording you hear "might raise an eyebrow". After 'might' you need the plain word.

Meaning: "raise" means to lift up, or to show surprise here.

Wrong options:

• raze: This sounds the same but means to destroy, not lift up.

Correct answer: surprised

Explanation: Listen again to "may be surprised by". After 'may be' you need a describing word that ends in ed.

Meaning: "surprised" means feeling shock or unexpected wonder.

Wrong options:

• suprised: It leaves out the "r". Write "surprised". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• surprising: "surprising" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "surprised", which ends in "ed".

Correct answer: musician

Explanation: Here you hear "best musician with an". After 'best' you need a word for a person who plays music.

Meaning: "musician" means a person who plays or writes music.

Wrong options:

• musican: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "musician". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• music: "music" is missing the ending. The speaker says "musician", with "ian" at the end.

Correct answer: typically

Explanation: The speaker says "John Lennon typically gets the". You need a word that tells how often, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "typically" means usually or most of the time.

Wrong options:

• typicly: It leaves out the "al". Check the letters: "typically". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• typical: "typical" is missing the ending. The speaker says "typically", with "ly" at the end.
