Meaning: "reject" means say no to or refuse something.

Wrong options:

• rejct: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "reject". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: comments

Explanation: You hear "for his comments about who was responsible". It comes after "his", so you need a word for what he said.

Meaning: "comments" means the things someone said about something.

Wrong options:

• coments: It leaves out the "m". Check the letters: "comments". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• comment: "comment" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "comments", so write the "s".

Correct answer: blamed

Explanation: Listen for "he again blamed both anti-racist protesters". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "blamed" means said someone was at fault or responsible.

Wrong options:

• blammed: It adds an extra "m". Check the letters: "blamed". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• blames: "blames" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "blamed", which ends in "d".

Correct answer: memorial

Explanation: On the recording you hear "At her memorial service, her mother". It comes before "service", so you need a word for a ceremony.

Meaning: "memorial" means about remembering someone who has died.

Wrong options:

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

Correct answer: advisory

Explanation: Listen again to "he's dismantling two advisory panels made". It comes before "panels", so you need a describing word that ends in y.

Meaning: "advisory" means giving advice or guidance, not having decision power.

Wrong options:

• advisary: It has "a" where the word has "o". Write "advisory". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• advice: "advice" is a close word, but it ends in "ce". The speaker says "advisory", which ends in "sory".
