Correct Transcript:

Disputes are still committed when deciding appropriate action, and differences in opinion over what light is considered replacable, and who should be responsible, mean that negotiation must sometimes take place between parties. Where optimistic measurement is desired, light levels can be quantified by field measurement or mathematical modeling, with results traditionally displayed as an isophote map or light contour map. Authorities have also taken a variety of measures for dealing with light population, depending on the interests, beliefs and understandings of the society involved. Measures range from doing nothing at all, to implementing strict laws and repetitions about how lights may be installed and used.

Printed "common", the speaker says "committed"

Explanation: Listen for "are still committed". Both words start with 'c', so listen to the whole word.

Printed "reasonable", the speaker says "replacable"

Explanation: You will hear "is considered replacable". The first letter is the same and the words end the same, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "objective", the speaker says "optimistic"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "Where optimistic measurement". Both words start with 'o', so wait for the rest of the word.

Printed "typically", the speaker says "traditionally"

Explanation: Listen again to "results traditionally displayed". Both start with 't' and end the same, so listen to the middle.

Printed "pollution", the speaker says "population"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "for dealing with light population". The first letter matches and the ending looks the same, so follow the sound, not the meaning.

Printed "regulations", the speaker says "repetitions"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "laws and repetitions about". They share the first and last letters, so listen carefully to the middle.

"isophote" matches the audio

Explanation: "an isophote map" has an unusual word. It looks like a trick, but the speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"society" matches the audio

Explanation: "the society involved" sits near other changes and may seem odd. The speaker says this word exactly as printed, so do not click it.
