Correct answer: benefit

Explanation: You hear "brought a significant benefit to". It comes after "significant", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "benefit" means something good that helps people.

Wrong options:

  • benifit: It has "i" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "benefit". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • benefits: "benefits" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "benefit", with no "s".
Correct answer: humans

Explanation: Listen for "For humans, this means". It comes after "For", so you need a word for people.

Meaning: "humans" means people in general.

Wrong options:

  • humains: It adds an extra "i". The right spelling is "humans". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • human: "human" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "humans", so write the "s".
Correct answer: common

Explanation: On the recording you hear "have become common in". You need a describing word that fits after become.

Meaning: "common" means usual or found a lot.

Wrong options:

  • comon: It leaves out the "m". Write "common". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • commonly: "commonly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "common".
Correct answer: opportunity

Explanation: Listen again to "creates an opportunity for". After "an" you need a word for a thing that ends in ity.

Meaning: "opportunity" means a chance to do something.

Wrong options:

  • oppertunity: It has "e" where the word has "o". Check the letters: "opportunity". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • opportunities: "opportunities" is a close word, but it ends in "ies". The speaker says "opportunity", which ends in "y".
