Meaning: "rail" means a train line.

Wrong options:

• rale: It leaves out the "i" and it adds an extra "e". Write "rail". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• railway: "railway" has an extra "way" at the end. The speaker says "rail".

Correct answer: advancing

Explanation: Listen again to "technology is advancing so quickly". You need an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "advancing" means developing or moving forward.

Wrong options:

• advanced: "advanced" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "advancing", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: entirely

Explanation: Here you hear "It is now entirely practical". You need a word that tells how much, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "entirely" means completely or fully.

Wrong options:

• entirey: It leaves out the "l". Write "entirely". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: comfort

Explanation: The speaker says "leave the comfort of your own home". It comes after "the", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "comfort" means a pleasant and easy state.

Wrong options:

• comfert: It has "e" where the word has "o". Check the letters: "comfort". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• comforts: "comforts" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "comfort", with no "s".

Correct answer: scope

Explanation: You hear "the scope of government planning". You need a word that means range or extent.

Meaning: "scope" means the range or extent.

Wrong options:

• scop: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "scope". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• scoop: This is a different word with a different meaning and does not fit here.
