Correct answer: preventative
Explanation: On the recording you hear "as a preventative measure". The word ends in ive.
Meaning: "preventative" means taken to stop something from happening.

Correct answer: patients
Explanation: Listen again to "and for younger patients who". It comes after "younger", so you need more than one.

Wrong options:
- patents: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "patients". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
- patient: "patient" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "patients", so write the "s".
Correct answer: smoking
Explanation: Here you hear "a history of smoking". It comes after "history of", so the word ends in ing.
