Printed "modern", the speaker says "contemporary"

Explanation: You will hear "contemporary exhibits that engage". Click "modern" on the page, and note the spoken word is much longer.

Printed "interact", the speaker says "engage"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "engage visitors in innovative". They start with different letters, so listen to the whole word and click "interact".

Printed "enhances", the speaker says "improves"

Explanation: Listen again to "improves accessibility, ensuring everyone". Both words share the same last two letters, so listen to the start to tell them apart.

Printed "past", the speaker says "history"

Printed "improved", the speaker says "enhanced"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "enhanced lighting and expanded". On screen it shows "improved", and both words end the same two letters, so hear the beginning.

Printed "invite", the speaker says "usher"

Explanation: The speaker says "museum will usher in a" not "invite". Click "invite" on the page, the spoken word is a bit shorter so listen carefully.

"artefacts" matches the audio
