Correct answer: novices

Explanation: Here you hear "handbook for novices and". You need a word that means more than one beginner, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "novices" means more than one beginner.

Wrong options:

  • novice: "novice" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "novices", so write the "s".
  • novises: It has "s" where the word has "c". The right spelling is "novices". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: everything

Explanation: The speaker says "it covers everything from". You need a single word that means all things, written as one word.

Meaning: "everything" means all things or all topics here.

Wrong options:

  • every thing: This writes two words, but the recording uses one word.
  • everythng: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "everything". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: revised

Explanation: You hear "fully revised guide". The sentence needs a word that ends in ed for a finished change.

Meaning: "revised" means changed and updated.

Wrong options:

  • revized: It has "z" where the word has "s". Check the letters: "revised". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • revising: "revising" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "revised", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: crazes

Explanation: Listen for "sites and crazes." You need more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "crazes" means popular fads or short trends.

Wrong options:

  • craze: "craze" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "crazes", so write the "s".
  • crases: It has "s" where the word has "z". Check the letters: "crazes". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: developments

Explanation: On the recording you hear "latest developments this". You need a word that means more than one change, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "developments" means new changes or progress.

Wrong options:

  • development: "development" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "developments", so write the "s".
