Meaning: "shelves" means the flat boards in a shop that hold goods.

Wrong options:

• shelfs: It has "f" where the word has "ve". Write "shelves". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• shelf: "shelf" is a close word, but it ends in "f". The speaker says "shelves", which ends in "ves".

Correct answer: nation

Explanation: Listen again to "The nation receives a". You need one word for the whole country here.

Meaning: "nation" means the whole country.

Wrong options:

• naiton: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "nation". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: regions

Explanation: Here you hear "agricultural regions Immigrants pick". More than one area is meant, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "regions" means different areas in the country.

Wrong options:

• regins: It leaves out the "o". Write "regions". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• region: "region" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "regions", so write the "s".

Correct answer: exposed

Explanation: The speaker says "they're exposed to while". This is a describing word about their state and ends in ed.

Meaning: "exposed" means made to touch or face something harmful.

Wrong options:

• expossed: It adds an extra "s". Check the letters: "exposed". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• exposing: "exposing" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "exposed", which ends in "ed".

Correct answer: asthma

Explanation: You hear "risk of asthma in young". The missing word is a health problem name about breathing.

Meaning: "asthma" means a health problem that makes breathing hard.

Wrong options:

• azthma: It has "z" where the word has "s". Write "asthma". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
