Correct answer: incorporating

Explanation: On the recording you hear "are incorporating art into". You need an action word that connects art to projects, it ends in ing.

Meaning: "incorporating" means including something as part of a project.

Wrong options:

  • incorperating: It has "e" where the word has "o". Check the letters: "incorporating". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • include: This is a different word form. The sentence needs an ing action word.
Correct answer: real

Explanation: Listen again to "in the real estate industry". It comes before "estate", so you need a short word for actual.

Meaning: "real" means actual or true here.

Wrong options:

  • reel: This is a different word with a different meaning though it sounds the same.
Correct answer: sculpture

Explanation: Here you hear "include a sculpture in the". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "sculpture" means a three dimensional work of art.

Wrong options:

  • sculputre: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "sculpture". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • sculptor: "sculptor" is a close word, but it ends in "or". The speaker says "sculpture", which ends in "ure".
Correct answer: graduate

Explanation: The speaker says "A recent graduate from an". You need a word for a person who finished school.

Meaning: "graduate" means someone who has completed a course at school or college.

Wrong options:

  • gradute: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "graduate". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • graduated: "graduated" has an extra "d" at the end. The speaker says "graduate".
Correct answer: profession

Explanation: You hear "Her profession as an artist". It comes after "Her", so you need a word for a job.

Meaning: "profession" means the job someone does for work.

Wrong options:

  • proffession: It adds an extra "f". The right spelling is "profession". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • professional: "professional" has an extra "al" at the end. The speaker says "profession".
Correct answer: professional

Explanation: Listen for "considered highly professional and". You need a describing word, it ends in al.

Meaning: "professional" means showing skill and high standards in work.

Wrong options:

  • proffesional: It adds an extra "f" and it leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "professional". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • profession: "profession" is missing the ending. The speaker says "professional", with "al" at the end.
