Printed "end", the speaker says "one"

Explanation: You will hear "a sad one". You see "end" on the page, but the audio has a different first letter.

Printed "hold", the speaker says "held"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "strongly held ideas". You read "hold" in the text, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "has", the speaker says "had"

Explanation: Listen again to "who had lived". On the page you find "has", yet the ending is different from the audio.

Printed "learned", the speaker says "lives"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "Native American groups lives". That printed form "learned" is much longer than the spoken word.

Printed "spell", the speaker says "spoke"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "They spoke many different languages". You see "spell" written, so focus on the whole spoken word.

Printed "is", the speaker says "were"

Explanation: The speaker says "others were peaceful", not "is". They start with different letters and the spoken word has more letters.

"religions" matches the audio

Explanation: "peoples, religions, ideas," has a common word religions that looks a little rare. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"farmers" matches the audio

Explanation: "Some were farmers, some were hunters." has a short familiar word farmers that might catch your eye. It is spoken the same way, so do not click it.
