Printed "currently", the speaker says "rapidly"

Explanation: Listen for "the rapidly evolving". On the page it shows "currently". They start with different letters, but both end the same two letters.

Printed "achievement", the speaker says "reduction"

Explanation: You will hear "reduction of battery". The page gives "achievement". "achievement" makes no sense before "battery life", so trust the sound.

Printed "improvement", the speaker says "enhancement"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "the enhancement of". You see "improvement" on the page. They begin with different letters but end the same way, so listen fully.

Printed "Lastly", the speaker says "Finally"

Explanation: Listen again to "Finally the rise". The text shows "Lastly". First letters differ, but both end the same two letters.

"manufacturers" matches the audio

Explanation: "manufacturers are constantly" looks long and odd, so it may catch your eye. But the speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"phones" matches the audio

Explanation: "allowing phones to" sits right next to the changed word and may confuse you. This is spoken exactly, so do not click it.
