Correct answer: contradicted
Explanation: Listen for "has contradicted an assertion that". It already happened, so the word ends in ed.
Meaning: "contradicted" means said something was not true.
Wrong options:
- contradited: It leaves out the "c". Check the letters: "contradicted". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
- confirmed: That word means said yes, not said something was wrong.
Correct answer: inquiry
Explanation: On the recording you hear "heading the inquiry and detectors". You need a word for an official investigation, so watch the ending "y".
Meaning: "inquiry" means an official investigation or formal question into something.
Wrong options:
- inquery: It has "e" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "inquiry". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- enquiry: This is a different spelling and is not the exact word the recording used.
Correct answer: arrested
Explanation: Listen again to "have arrested the German Turkish writer". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.
Meaning: "arrested" means the police took someone into custody.
Wrong options:
- arested: It leaves out the "r". Write "arrested". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: extensively
Explanation: Here you hear "has written extensively in Turkey's". You need a word that tells how much, so it ends in ly.
Meaning: "extensively" means in a large or detailed way.
Wrong options:
- extensivly: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "extensively". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
- extensive: "extensive" is missing the ending. The speaker says "extensively", with "ly" at the end.
