Correct answer: weapons

Explanation: The speaker says "nuclear weapons program". You need a word for a thing and more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "weapons" means arms or bombs.

Wrong options:

  • wepons: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "weapons". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • weapon: "weapon" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "weapons", so write the "s".
Correct answer: imposes

Explanation: You hear "which imposes sanctions on North". It is an action word and ends in es, so watch the s sound at the end.

Meaning: "imposes" means puts or places rules or limits on someone.

Wrong options:

  • imposses: It adds an extra "s". The right spelling is "imposes". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • impose: "impose" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "imposes", so write the "s".
Correct answer: implement

Explanation: Listen for "strictly implement this Resolution". It follows "to" so you need the base action word, spelled implement.

Meaning: "implement" means to carry out or put into action.

Wrong options:

  • implemment: It adds an extra "m". Write "implement". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • implementing: "implementing" has an extra "ing" at the end. The speaker says "implement".
Correct answer: extension

Explanation: On the recording you hear "by extension all UN member-states". It comes after "by" so you need a word for a thing that ends in sion.

Meaning: "extension" means something added that covers others or includes them.

Wrong options:

  • extention: It has "t" where the word has "s". Write "extension". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • extensions: "extensions" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "extension", with no "s".
