Meaning: "thinkers" means people who study and write about ideas.

Wrong options:

• thinkes: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "thinkers". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• thinker: "thinker" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "thinkers", so write the "s".

Correct answer: keen

Explanation: Listen again to "are intrigued, or even keen". You need a word that tells how much interest.

Meaning: "keen" means very interested.

Wrong options:

• ken: It leaves out the "e". Write "keen". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• keenly: "keenly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "keen".

Correct answer: published

Explanation: Here you hear "state, published a sympathetic". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "published" means made public in print or online.

Wrong options:

• publsihed: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "published". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• publish: "publish" is missing the ending. The speaker says "published", with "ed" at the end.

Correct answer: redistribution

Explanation: The speaker says "no government redistribution, a". It comes after "government", so you need a word for a thing and it ends in tion.

Meaning: "redistribution" means giving money from rich people to poorer people.

Wrong options:

• redistibution: It leaves out the "r". Write "redistribution". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• distribution: That word means giving out, not taking from some and giving to others.
