Correct answer: therapy

Explanation: You hear "talking about therapy Dog". The word follows "about", so you need a word for medical treatment.

Meaning: "therapy" means treatment to help an illness.

Wrong options:

  • theraphy: It adds an extra "h". Check the letters: "therapy". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: diagnosed

Explanation: Listen for "Casey was diagnosed with". The sentence already talks about the past, so the word is the plain past form ending in ed.

Meaning: "diagnosed" means identified as having a disease.

Wrong options:

  • diagnosd: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "diagnosed". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • diagnose: "diagnose" is missing the ending. The speaker says "diagnosed", with "d" at the end.
Correct answer: underwent

Explanation: On the recording you hear "Casey underwent in eight months". The story is past, so use a past action word here.

Meaning: "underwent" means went through a treatment or experience.

Wrong options:

  • underwnt: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "underwent". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • undergo: "undergo" is a close word, but it ends in "go". The speaker says "underwent", which ends in "went".
Correct answer: sapping

Explanation: Listen again to "Also, sapping Casey and his". You need an action word that shows something ongoing, so the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "sapping" means taking away energy or strength.

Wrong options:

  • sapped: "sapped" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "sapping", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: regressed

Explanation: Here you hear "He regressed to about". The sentence talks about a change that already happened, so use the past form ending in ed.

Meaning: "regressed" means went backwards in development or health.

Wrong options:

  • regresed: It leaves out the "s". Write "regressed". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • regress: "regress" is missing the ending. The speaker says "regressed", with "ed" at the end.
Correct answer: started

Explanation: The speaker says "peanut started visiting Casey every". This is about the past, so put the past form that ends in ed.

Meaning: "started" means began to do something.

Wrong options:

  • statred: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "started". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • starts: "starts" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "started", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: recovery

Explanation: You hear "turn the corner to recovery". It comes after "to", so you need a word for a state or result, a thing.

Meaning: "recovery" means the process of getting better.

Wrong options:

  • recovey: It leaves out the "r". Write "recovery". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • recover: "recover" is missing the ending. The speaker says "recovery", with "y" at the end.
