Meaning: "insight" means a clear view or understanding.

Wrong options:

• insite: It leaves out the "gh" and it adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "insight". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: characters

Explanation: Listen again to "One of the characters is Wereket-EI". The sentence needs a word for more than one person or figure.

Meaning: "characters" means the people or figures in the story.

Wrong options:

• charcters: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "characters". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• character: "character" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "characters", so write the "s".

Correct answer: merchant

Explanation: Here you hear "a Phoenician merchant living at Tanis". After "a" you need a word for a person who sells goods.

Meaning: "merchant" means a person who trades and sells goods.

Wrong options:

• marchant: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "merchant". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• merchants: "merchants" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "merchant", with no "s".

Correct answer: prosperous

Explanation: The speaker says "The most prosperous period for Phoenicia". You need a describing word that shows success and wealth.

Meaning: "prosperous" means successful and wealthy.

Wrong options:

• prosperus: It leaves out the "o". Write "prosperous". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• prosperity: "prosperity" is a close word, but it ends in "ity". The speaker says "prosperous", which ends in "ous".

Correct answer: surrounding

Explanation: You hear "when the surrounding region was stable". The sentence needs a word that means around or near it.

Meaning: "surrounding" means located around or near something.

Wrong options:

• surounding: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "surrounding". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• surroundings: "surroundings" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "surrounding", with no "s".
