AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "thrilling", the speaker says "exciting"

Explanation: Listen again to "yesterday's exciting international". Tap the printed word "thrilling". Both words end the same way, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "turns", the speaker says "twists"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "filled with unexpected twists". Mark the printed word "turns". Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the rest to tell them apart.

Printed "tides", the speaker says "tide"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "turned the tide". Select the printed word "tides". The printed word is longer, so check the ending on the page and follow the audio.

Printed "essentially", the speaker says "effectively"

Explanation: The speaker says "effectively sealing the win", not "essentially". Choose the printed word "essentially". Both words start and end the same way, so follow the sound, not the meaning.

Printed "surpass", the speaker says "overcome"

Explanation: Listen for "it wasn't enough to overcome". Click the printed word "surpass". The two words start with different letters, so listen from the first sound to tell them apart.

Printed "sporting", the speaker says "sportsmanship"

Explanation: You will hear "intense competition and sportsmanship". Tap the printed word "sporting". The spoken word is much longer than the printed word, so follow the full spoken word.

Printed "spirit", the speaker says "sportsmanship"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "competition and sportsmanship". Select the printed word "spirit". That printed word does not fit there. Trust the audio.

"home" matches the audio

Explanation: "the home team managed" looks like a key phrase. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.

"fans" matches the audio

Explanation: "with fans from both sides" may catch your eye. The speaker uses that exact word, so do not click it.
