Meaning: "skillfully" means with skill or great care.

Wrong options:

• skillfuly: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "skillfully". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• skillful: "skillful" is missing the ending. The speaker says "skillfully", with "ly" at the end.

Correct answer: craftsman

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a master craftsman". The line needs a word for a person who makes things.

Meaning: "craftsman" means a person who makes things skillfully by hand.

Wrong options:

• craftman: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "craftsman". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• craftsmen: "craftsmen" is a close word, but it ends in "en". The speaker says "craftsman", which ends in "an".

Correct answer: mouth

Explanation: Listen again to "configurations of mouth, p". A body part name fits here.

Meaning: "mouth" means the part of the face used to speak and eat.

Wrong options:

• moth: It leaves out the "u". Check the letters: "mouth". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• mouths: "mouths" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "mouth", with no "s".

Correct answer: amount

Explanation: Here you hear "and so on, amount to". You need an action word that goes before "to". Use the plain word.

Meaning: "amount" means to add up or be equal to.

Wrong options:

• ammount: It adds an extra "m". The right spelling is "amount". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• amounts: "amounts" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "amount", with no "s".

Correct answer: meaning

Explanation: The speaker says "no meaning, no ability". After "no" the sentence needs a word for the idea words give.

Meaning: "meaning" means the idea or sense expressed by words.

Wrong options:

• meanng: It leaves out the "i". Write "meaning". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• meanings: "meanings" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "meaning", with no "s".
