Meaning: "craftsmen" means skilled people who make things by hand.

Wrong options:

  • crafstmen: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "craftsmen". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • craftsman: "craftsman" is a close word, but it ends in "an". The speaker says "craftsmen", which ends in "en".
Correct answer: carpenter

Meaning: "carpenter" means a person who builds and fixes things from wood.

Wrong options:

  • carpentor: It has "o" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "carpenter". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • carpetter: That is a different word for someone who fits carpets.
Correct answer: legacy

Explanation: Listen for "architectural legacy of". It is a word for what the past left behind.

Meaning: "legacy" means things from the past that remain and affect the present.
