Meaning: "confirmed" means said it was true.

Wrong options:

• confrimed: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "confirmed". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• confirm: "confirm" is missing the ending. The speaker says "confirmed", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: implementing

Explanation: Here you hear "formally implementing a decision". After "formally" you need an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "implementing" means putting the decision into action now.

Wrong options:

• implement: "implement" is missing the ending. The speaker says "implementing", with "ing" at the end.

Correct answer: participate

Explanation: The speaker says "continue to participate in". It comes after "to", so use the simple action word form.

Meaning: "participate" means take part in the meetings.

Wrong options:

• participating: "participating" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "participate", which ends in "e".

Correct answer: disasters

Explanation: You hear "weather-related disasters could kill". "weather-related" comes before it, so you need more than one, add s.

Meaning: "disasters" means bad events like floods and storms.

Wrong options:

• disaster: "disaster" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "disasters", so write the "s".

Correct answer: continent

Explanation: Listen for "on the continent". After "the" you need a word for a large land area.

Meaning: "continent" means a very large area of land like Europe.

Wrong options:

• continant: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "continent". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
