I    think    that    as    a    monograph    is    an    anthropologist,    whether    we    define    ourselves    as    engaged    or    not,    we    should    at    all    time    remain    aware    of    not    our    voice    for    the    voices    of    those.    In    my    case,    indigenous    groups,    we    are    aiming    to    accompany    in    their    claims,    their    life    projects    and    struggles    towards    social    justice.    And    self    in    the    last    few    decades.    Canada    this    has    become    particularly    true    in    the    fields    of    indigenous    studies,    a    major    of    our    work    and    responsibility    as    anthropologists    is    to    keep    producing    descriptions.    In    my    experience,    deep    and    engagement    are    not    antithetical    and    contradictory.    Deep    ethnography.    Is    in    itself    a    form    of    and    advocacy    away    to    understand    whom    the    indigenous    people    we    are    working    with    are.

Correct answer: substituting

Explanation: On the recording you hear "aware of not substituting our". You need an action word that ends in ing after not.

Meaning: "substituting" means replacing one thing with another.

Wrong options:

  • substuting: It leaves out the "ti". Check the letters: "substituting". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • substitute: "substitute" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "substituting", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: determination

Explanation: Listen again to "self determination in the". It comes after self, so you need a word that ends in tion.

Meaning: "determination" means the power to decide or control for a group.

Wrong options:

  • determinaton: It leaves out the "i". Write "determination". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • determining: "determining" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "determination", which ends in "ation".
Correct answer: aspect

Explanation: Here you hear "a major aspect of our". After major you need a word for a part or side.

Meaning: "aspect" means a part or side of something.

Wrong options:

  • aspact: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "aspect". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • aspects: "aspects" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "aspect", with no "s".
Correct answer: thick

Explanation: The speaker says "producing thick descriptions". You need a short describing word before descriptions.

Meaning: "thick" means very detailed and full of meaning here.

Wrong options:

  • thik: It leaves out the "c". Write "thick". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • thin: Thin is the opposite meaning. The speaker meant very detailed descriptions.
Correct answer: ethnography

Explanation: You hear "deep ethnography and engagement". After deep you need a word for a detailed study that ends in phy.

Meaning: "ethnography" means the study and description of people and cultures.

Wrong options:

  • ethnology: Ethnology is a different kind of study. The speaker said the detailed study word.
Correct answer: engagement

Explanation: Listen for "form of engagement and advocacy". You need a word for a thing, person or idea that ends in ment after of.

Meaning: "engagement" means involvement or taking part with others.

Wrong options:

  • engagment: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "engagement". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • engaging: "engaging" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "engagement", which ends in "ement".
