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: completely

Explanation: Listen for "makes the subject completely engaging". You need a word that tells how much, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "completely" means totally or fully.

Wrong options:

• completly: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "completely". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• complete: "complete" is missing the ending. The speaker says "completely", with "ly" at the end.

Correct answer: interesting

Meaning: "interesting" means something that catches attention or is enjoyable.

Wrong options:

• intersting: It leaves out the "e". Write "interesting". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• interest: "interest" is missing the ending. The speaker says "interesting", with "ing" at the end.

Wrong options:

• statistcs: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "statistics". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• statistic: "statistic" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "statistics", so write the "s".
