Result:
Similar to other social networks the majority of yelp reviews come from advertising that business is a purchasing. This has resulted in yelp receiving criticism that advertisers are affecting the reliability of yelp's ratings and reviews. However, Yelp has clearly stated that no one including paying advertisers can change your Tampa with actually existing user reviews.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "resourcing", the speaker says "advertising"

Explanation: The speaker says "come from advertising that", not "resourcing". The words begin with different letters, and they end the same, so hear the full word.

Printed "reflecting", the speaker says "affecting"

Explanation: Listen for "advertisers are affecting the". The first letters are different, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "likes", the speaker says "reviews"

Explanation: You will hear "yelp's ratings and reviews". The printed word "likes" does not make sense here, so follow the sound, not the meaning.

Printed "giving", the speaker says "paying"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "including paying advertisers". The first letters differ, so listen to the whole first part.

Printed "making", the speaker says "existing"

Explanation: Listen again to "actually existing user reviews". The spoken word is longer, so wait for a longer word before you decide.

"yelp" matches the audio

Explanation: "majority of yelp reviews" is a short phrase on the page. The speaker says it the same, so do not click it.

"ratings" matches the audio

Explanation: "yelp's ratings and likes" may look odd on the page. The speaker says the printed word exactly, so do not click it.
