Correct answer: burgeon

Explanation: Listen for "continues to burgeon as". You need an action word that means grow fast.

Meaning: "burgeon" means grow quickly.

Wrong options:

  • burgon: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "burgeon". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • burgeons: "burgeons" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "burgeon", with no "s".
Correct answer: systems

Explanation: On the recording you hear "Advanced systems like". After "Advanced" you need a word for things, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "systems" means groups of parts that work together.

Wrong options:

  • systims: It has "i" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "systems". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • system: "system" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "systems", so write the "s".
Correct answer: contribution

Explanation: Listen again to "Their contribution to society is". It needs a word for a thing that ends in tion.

Meaning: "contribution" means what something gives or adds to society.

Wrong options:

  • contributon: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "contribution". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • contribute: "contribute" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "contribution", which ends in "ion".
