Correct answer: autumn
Explanation: The speaker says "In the autumn of 1810". You need a season word, a time of year.
Meaning: "autumn" means the season between summer and winter.
Wrong options:
- autum: It leaves out the "n". The right spelling is "autumn". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: subsequently
Explanation: You hear "and subsequently received a license". This shows order, so the word ends in ly.
Meaning: "subsequently" means after that, next in time.
Wrong options:
- subsequantly: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "subsequently". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: thrive
Explanation: Listen for "did not thrive as he had". The sentence needs an action word about success.
Meaning: "thrive" means to grow well or be successful.
Wrong options:
- survive: Survive means stay alive, not to do well or succeed.
Correct answer: eventually
Explanation: On the recording you hear "He eventually met Leigh Hunt". The word tells when, so it ends in ly.
Meaning: "eventually" means finally, after some time.
Wrong options:
- eventualy: It leaves out the "l". Check the letters: "eventually". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: honor / honour
Explanation: Listen again to "In honor of this meeting". It comes after "In", so you need a word for a reason. You can write "honor" or "honour". Both get the mark.
Meaning: "honor" means as a sign of respect or to mark an event.
Wrong options:
- onor: It leaves out the "h". Check the letters: "honor". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
