Wrong options:

• impapcts: It adds an extra "p". The right spelling is "impacts". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• impact: "impact" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "impacts", so write the "s".

Correct answer: featuring

Explanation: Here you hear "spot, featuring a surgeon talking". The sentence needs a word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "featuring" means showing or including someone in the ad.

Wrong options:

• feauturing: It adds an extra "u". Check the letters: "featuring". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• feature: "feature" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "featuring", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: rotting

Explanation: The speaker says "toes were blackened and rotting away". This already describes something happening, so it ends in ing.

Meaning: "rotting" means decaying and breaking down from disease or infection.

Wrong options:

• roting: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "rotting". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• rotted: "rotted" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "rotting", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: disgusting

Explanation: You hear "The image of the foot was extremely disgusting". You need a word that describes the thing, not the feeling.

Meaning: "disgusting" means very gross or causing strong dislike.

Wrong options:

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

Correct answer: hacksaw

Explanation: Listen for "about to take his hacksaw and cut". The sentence needs the exact tool name, one word.

Meaning: "hacksaw" means a hand tool the sentence uses to cut bone.

Wrong options:

• haksaw: It leaves out the "c". Write "hacksaw". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• saw: The sentence needs the specific tool name, not the general word.
