Well,    I    think    the    foundational  message    there    is    they    really    only    play    a    role    where    there    is    an    dietary    intake    and    when    there    is    an    adequate    dietary    intake,    they    can    be    used    as    a    fix    to    meet    though    that    need.    However,    it    they    shouldn't    be    a  .  You    know    all    the    time.    Then    there    is    another    approach,    which    is    probably    being    a    little    bit    more.    Now    is    where    specific    nutrients    and    are    being.    For    more    of    a    pharmacological    or    a    therapeutic    effect,    and    we're    seeing    this    with    individual    and    for    some    of    those,    there    is    some    evidence    in    specific    populations    they    can    be    helpful    and    I    think    that's    important.    So,    there's    a    lot    of    sifting.

Correct answer: adequate

Explanation: Here you hear "where there is an adequate dietary intake". It comes before "dietary intake", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "adequate" means enough or good for the need.

Wrong options:

  • adequatly: It has "ly" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "adequate". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • adequately: "adequately" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "adequate".
Correct answer: temporary

Explanation: The speaker says "they can be used as a temporary fix". The word tells how long, so it ends in ary.

Meaning: "temporary" means short term or not permanent.

Wrong options:

  • temporery: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "temporary". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • temporarily: "temporarily" is a close word, but it ends in "ily". The speaker says "temporary", which ends in "y".
Correct answer: backstop

Explanation: You hear "they shouldn't be a backstop". The sentence needs a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "backstop" means a support or safety measure used when needed.

Wrong options:

  • backup: "backup" is a close word, but it ends in "up". The speaker says "backstop", which ends in "stop".
Correct answer: promoted

Explanation: Listen for "being promoted a little". The sentence needs the word with ing or ed at the end.

Meaning: "promoted" means encouraged or recommended more now.

Wrong options:

  • promoting: "promoting" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "promoted", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: isolation

Explanation: On the recording you hear "specific nutrients and isolation". It needs a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "isolation" means separation or alone testing of something.

Wrong options:

  • isloation: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "isolation". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • isolate: "isolate" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "isolation", which ends in "ion".
Correct answer: nutrients

Explanation: Listen again to "individual nutrients and". The word is the same as earlier and is more than one.

Meaning: "nutrients" means substances that give food its value for health.

Wrong options:

  • nutrint: It leaves out the "e" and it leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "nutrients". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • nutrient: "nutrient" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "nutrients", so write the "s".
