Correct Transcript:

Cashmere wool fiber for clothing and other textile accessories is obtained from the neck region of Cashmere and other goats. Cashmere goats predict a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under down of hair managed with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called guard hair. For the fine under down to be sold and prepared further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that secretes the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After de-hairing, the resulting "cashmere" is ready to be dyed and connected into textile yarn, fabrics and garments.

Printed "articles", the speaker says "accessories"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "other textile accessories is". They share the first letter, so listen to the whole longer spoken word.

Printed "produce", the speaker says "predict"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "goats predict a". They start with the same letter, but the words end differently, so listen to the end.

Printed "mingled", the speaker says "managed"

Explanation: The speaker says "hair managed with a". Both words begin with the same letter and end the same, so follow the whole word.

Printed "processed", the speaker says "prepared"

Explanation: Listen for "sold and prepared further". The printed word is longer, so notice the shorter spoken word instead.

Printed "separates", the speaker says "secretes"

Explanation: You will hear "that secretes the". They both start with the same letter and end the same, so focus on the middle.

Printed "converted", the speaker says "connected"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "dyed and connected". The first letter matches and both end the same, so trust the audio, not the print.

"neck" matches the audio

Explanation: "obtained from the neck region of Cashmere" may catch your eye because it is short. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"Cashmere" matches the audio

Explanation: "Cashmere wool fiber for clothing" looks like a special name and may distract you. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.
