Correct Transcript:

It sounds obvious—pregnancies could be avoided by using contraception. But 15 million unwanted pregnancies could be avoided annually in 35 low- and middle-income countries if women did in fact use modern contraception. That’s according to a study in the journal Human Reproduction. Unwanted pregnancy has a wide range of serious consequences. Women may have to stop their education or employment. They might pursue unsafe abortions. And they can face disability, disease and death as a result of the pregnancy. To determine barriers to the use of contraception, researchers compared surveys and interviews of nearly 13,000 women who became pregnant unintentionally. They compared the data to that from more than a hundred thousand women who were sexually active and did not want to be pregnant.

Printed "intensities", the speaker says "pregnancies"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "15 million unwanted pregnancies". They start with different letters, so listen to the start, though both end the same.

Printed "supremacism", the speaker says "middle income"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "low- and middle-income countries". The printed word makes no sense here, and the first letters differ, so listen to the start.

Printed "condescend", the speaker says "compared"

Explanation: The speaker says "researchers compared surveys", not "condescend". Both words start with c, so listen to the middle or end of the word.

Printed "flumes", the speaker says "interviews"

Explanation: Listen for "surveys and interviews of". The spoken word is much longer, so listen for a longer word after surveys.

"Reproduction" matches the audio

Explanation: "the journal Human Reproduction". It looks formal, but the speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"unintentionally" matches the audio

Explanation: "became pregnant unintentionally". It looks long and odd, but the speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.
