Meaning: "collaboration" means working together with others.

Wrong options:

• collaberation: It has "e" where the word has "o". The right spelling is "collaboration". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: engaging

Explanation: On the recording you hear "confident in engaging with the research process". It comes after in, so an action word ending in ing.

Meaning: "engaging" means taking part or joining in the work.

Wrong options:

• engaing: It leaves out the "g". Write "engaging". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• engage: "engage" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "engaging", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: perspectives

Explanation: Listen again to "epistemological and ontological perspectives". You need a word for views, so it is more than one and ends in s.

Meaning: "perspectives" means different ways of seeing or thinking about things.

Wrong options:

• perspective: "perspective" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "perspectives", so write the "s".
• perspectivs: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "perspectives". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: evolved

Explanation: Here you hear "Have evolved and implemented various initiatives". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "evolved" means changed or developed over time.

Wrong options:

• evolvd: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "evolved". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• developed: Developed is a different word. The speaker used a word that means gradually changed.

Correct answer: valorize / valorise

Explanation: The speaker says "promote and valorize their knowledge of the land". It comes after and, so you need a word for raising value or respect. You can write "valorize" or "valorise". Both get the mark.

Meaning: "valorize" means to give value or show respect to knowledge.

Wrong options:

• value: Value is a simpler word and not the exact form the speaker used here.
