Correct answer: cattle
Explanation: The speaker says "ancestor of cattle and". It comes after "of", so you need a word for a thing and for more than one.
Meaning: "cattle" means cows and bulls as a group.
Wrong options:
- catle: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "cattle". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: color / colour
Explanation: You hear "dark in color." It follows "dark in", so you need a word for appearance. You can write "color" or "colour". Both get the mark.
Meaning: "color" means the look or shade of the animal.
Wrong options:
- colur: It has "u" where the word has "o". Write "color". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: solely
Explanation: Listen for "limited solely to royal". After "limited" you need a word that ends in ly.
Meaning: "solely" means only, without anyone or anything else.
Wrong options:
- soley: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "solely". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- only: "only" is a different word. The recording uses a different form.
Correct answer: hunt
Explanation: On the recording you hear "due to extensive hunt." After "extensive" the sentence needs an action word.
Meaning: "hunt" means the activity of killing animals for food or sport.
Wrong options:
- hant: It has "a" where the word has "u". The right spelling is "hunt". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
- hunting: "hunting" has an extra "ing" at the end. The speaker says "hunt".
Correct answer: natural
Explanation: Listen again to "from natural causes." It follows "from", so you need a describing word ending in al.
Meaning: "natural" means not caused by an accident or killing, but by nature.
Wrong options:
- natrual: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "natural". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
- unnatural: This word means the opposite and does not match the meaning in the sentence.
