Wrong options:

• fod: It leaves out the "o". The right spelling is "food". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• foods: "foods" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "food", with no "s".

Correct answer: breathing

Wrong options:

• breathin: It leaves out the "g". Check the letters: "breathing". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• eating: This is a different action. The sentence lists two different actions.

Correct answer: learn

Wrong options:

• lern: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "learn". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
