Correct Transcript:

Height is correlated with a lot of things. Up to a certain height, taller people make more money than the vertically challenged. And the taller presidential candidate almost always wins. Now a study finds that your height as an adult has a profound effect on your perception of your health. Short people judge their health to be worse than average or tall people judge theirs. The research was published in the journal clinical Endocrinology. Data for the study came from the 2003 Health Survey for England. More than 14,000 participants filled out questionnaires and had their heights measured. The study only looked at how good the subject thought his or her health was, not their actual health. Questions focused on five areas: mobility, self-care, normal activities, pain or discomfort and anxiety or depression.

Printed "developmental", the speaker says "presidential"

Explanation: Listen for "the taller presidential candidate". It starts with a different first letter, so listen to the word start.

Printed "overpopulate", the speaker says "candidate"

Explanation: You will hear "presidential candidate almost". Both words end the same, so focus on the beginning of the word.

Printed "repairable", the speaker says "clinical"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "journal clinical Endocrinology". That printed word makes no sense before Endocrinology, so listen from the start.

Printed "reconvert", the speaker says "discomfort"

Explanation: Listen again to "pain or discomfort and". The first letters differ, so listen to how the word begins.

"vertically" matches the audio

Explanation: "the vertically challenged" looks unusual, but the speaker says it exactly as printed. Do not click it.

"participants" matches the audio

Explanation: "More than 14,000 participants" has a number and a common word. The speaker reads "participants" as printed. Do not click it.
