Correct answer: prediction

Explanation: Listen again to "make a prediction about". The sentence needs a word for a thing, after "make a".

Meaning: "prediction" means a guess about the future.

Wrong options:

  • prediciton: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "prediction". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • predicting: "predicting" is a close word, but it ends in "ng". The speaker says "prediction", which ends in "on".
Correct answer: profound

Explanation: Here you hear "One profound impact of". You need a describing word that shows a strong effect.

Meaning: "profound" means very strong or deep.

Wrong options:

  • profond: It leaves out the "u". The right spelling is "profound". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • profoundly: "profoundly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "profound".
Correct answer: consumption

Explanation: The speaker says "the consumption of eco-friendly". The word after "the" is a word for a thing or activity.

Meaning: "consumption" means the use or buying of goods.

Wrong options:

  • consumtion: It leaves out the "p". Check the letters: "consumption". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
