Meaning: "derives" means comes from.

Wrong options:

• deives: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "derives". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• derive: "derive" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "derives", so write the "s".

Correct answer: feast

Explanation: On the recording you hear "ancient Roman feast of". You need a short word for a special meal or party.

Meaning: "feast" means a large or special meal.

Wrong options:

• fest: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "feast". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• festival: This sentence needs the short word for a meal, not the longer festival.

Correct answer: roamed

Explanation: Listen again to "fierce wolves roamed the". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "roamed" means moved around in a large area.

Wrong options:

• romed: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "roamed". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• roam: "roam" is missing the ending. The speaker says "roamed", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: customs

Explanation: Here you hear "One of the customs of". You need more than one, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "customs" means traditional ways or practices.

Wrong options:

• customes: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "customs". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• custom: "custom" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "customs", so write the "s".

Correct answer: slips

Explanation: The speaker says "written on slips of". You need more than one, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "slips" means small pieces of paper.

Wrong options:

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