Meaning: "unspoiled" means not damaged or changed.

Wrong options:

• unspoild: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "unspoiled". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: frustrating

Explanation: Listen for "feel a frustrating kind of irony". It comes after "feel a", so you need a describing word ending in ing.

Meaning: "frustrating" means causing annoyance or disappointment.

Wrong options:

• frustating: It leaves out the "r". Write "frustrating". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• frustrated: "frustrated" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "frustrating", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: impacts

Explanation: On the recording you hear "those impacts continue too often". It follows "those", so you need more than one, do not forget s.

Meaning: "impacts" means harms or effects on the ocean.

Wrong options:

• imapcts: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "impacts". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• impact: "impact" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "impacts", so write the "s".

Correct answer: emblem

Explanation: Listen again to "potent emblem of this has been". It comes after "potent", so you need a word for a symbol.

Meaning: "emblem" means a sign or symbol that stands for something.

Wrong options:

• emlem: It leaves out the "b". Write "emblem". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: collided

Explanation: Here you hear "Sanchi collided with a cargo ship". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "collided" means crashed into another ship.

Wrong options:

• colided: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "collided". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• collide: "collide" is missing the ending. The speaker says "collided", with "d" at the end.
