Correct answer: inviting

Explanation: On the recording you hear "staff is inviting passengers to". After "is" the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "inviting" means asking people to come or join.

Wrong options:

  • inviteing: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "inviting". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • invites: "invites" is a close word, but it ends in "es". The speaker says "inviting", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: requiring

Explanation: Listen again to "they are requiring you to". After "are" the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "requiring" means asking someone to do something as necessary.

Wrong options:

  • requireing: It adds an extra "e". Write "requiring". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • require: "require" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "requiring", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: desk

Explanation: Here you hear "check-in desk near the entrance". It comes after "check-in" so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "desk" means a table or counter where staff work at check-in.

Wrong options:

  • desck: It adds an extra "c". Write "desk". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • desks: "desks" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "desk", with no "s".
Correct answer: regular

Explanation: The speaker says "is a regular procedure for". It comes after "a" so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "regular" means normal or usual in this situation.

Wrong options:

  • reguler: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "regular". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • regularly: "regularly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "regular".
