Correct answer: active

Explanation: Listen for "an active lifestyle". You need a describing word for the life choice here.

Meaning: "active" means liking physical movement and not sitting much.

Wrong options:

  • acitve: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "active". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • actively: "actively" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "active".
Correct answer: interesting

Explanation: On the recording you hear "These interesting jobs". You need a describing word before "jobs" that ends in ing.

Meaning: "interesting" means causing interest or attention.

Wrong options:

  • interesing: It leaves out the "t". Write "interesting". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interestingly: "interestingly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "interesting".
Correct answer: infrastructure

Explanation: Listen again to "support the infrastructure of". The word is a thing and ends in ture.

Meaning: "infrastructure" means the basic systems and services of a city.

Wrong options:

  • infrastrcture: It leaves out the "u". The right spelling is "infrastructure". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • infrastructures: "infrastructures" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "infrastructure", with no "s".
Correct answer: career

Explanation: Here you hear "Choosing such a career can". You need a word for a long job or role after "a".

Meaning: "career" means a long-term job or profession.

Wrong options:

  • carreer: It adds an extra "r". Check the letters: "career". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • careers: "careers" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "career", with no "s".
