Correct answer: people

Explanation: Listen again to "how people make decisions". The sentence needs a word for human beings.

Meaning: "people" means ordinary human beings.

Wrong options:

  • peolpe: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "people". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: diverse

Explanation: Here you hear "as diverse as economics". You need a describing word meaning many different kinds.

Meaning: "diverse" means many different types or kinds.

Wrong options:

  • different: This is a different word and not the exact word the speaker used.
Correct answer: resolved

Explanation: The speaker says "how conflicts are resolved". The action already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "resolved" means made calm or settled after a problem.

Wrong options:

  • resovled: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "resolved". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • solve: This form does not match the past action the sentence describes.
Correct answer: strategic

Explanation: You hear "for strategic interaction". The sentence needs a describing word about careful plans.

Meaning: "strategic" means planned to reach a goal.

Wrong options:

  • strateegic: It adds an extra "e". Check the letters: "strategic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • strategical: "strategical" has an extra "al" at the end. The speaker says "strategic".
