Correct Transcript:

Diane Arbus is known for creating intense black and white photographs of very unusual people. She used a special camera that produced square-shaped images. Often her subjects look sad, conflicted, or physically abnormal. But they do not try to hide their insecurities. They openly stare at the camera. One art expert said Diane Arbus turned photography inside out. Instead of looking at her subjects, she made them look at her. Arbus learned to mix the realistic nature of photography with its expressive possibilities. She explored how people live with sameness and difference as well as acceptance and rejection. These combinations created very interesting art that was often disputed.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "famous", the speaker says "known"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "is known for creating". You see "famous" on the page, but the speaker says "known". They start with different letters, so listen to the first sound you hear.

Printed "for", the speaker says "of"

Explanation: Listen again to "black and white photographs of". The page shows "for", yet the speaker says "of". The two words begin with different letters, so check the start of the small word.

Printed "then", the speaker says "they"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "But they do not try". The page prints "then", not what you hear. Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "expect", the speaker says "expert"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "One art expert said". The page has "expect", but the speaker says "expert". Both words start the same, so listen to the ending.

Printed "natural", the speaker says "nature"

Explanation: The speaker says "the realistic nature of", not "natural". The page shows a different word, and both start with the same letter. Listen to the full word to decide.

Printed "about", the speaker says "with"

Explanation: Listen for "live with sameness and". The page has "about", though the speaker says "with". They start with different letters, so check the first sound.

Printed "intacting", the speaker says "interesting"

Explanation: You will hear "very interesting art that". The transcript prints "intacting", not the word in the audio. They start with the same letter and end the same two letters, so listen to the middle.

"photographs" matches the audio

Explanation: "intense black and white photographs of" looks long and may feel tricky. The speaker actually says "photographs" exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"camera" matches the audio

Explanation: "a special camera that produced" sits next to a changed word and can draw your eye. The speaker says "camera" exactly as written, so do not click it.
