AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "floss", the speaker says "boss"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "recording academy boss was". The printed word is "floss" on the page. The two words start with different letters, so listen to the first sound to tell them apart.

Printed "ceremonial", the speaker says "ceremony"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "this year's Grammys ceremony on". The printed word on the page is "ceremonial". They start with the same letter, so wait for the end.

Printed "seventh", the speaker says "seventeen"

Explanation: The speaker says "only seventeen out of eighty" not "seventh". The printed word is "seventh". The spoken word is much longer, so listen for extra sounds after the first part.

Printed "men", the speaker says "women"

Explanation: Listen for "went to women or acts". On the page you see "men" instead. The two words start with different letters, so the first sound will tell you which to click.

Printed "racing", the speaker says "facing"

Explanation: You will hear "obstacles facing women in". The printed word shows "racing". The words start with different letters, so listen to the whole word to catch the correct one.

"Grammys" matches the audio

Explanation: "this year's Grammys ceremony on" may look odd as a name here. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"January" matches the audio

Explanation: "twenty eighth of January" looks like a date that could be changed. The speaker says it just like the page, so do not click it.
