Printed "enthusiasts", the speaker says "fans"

Explanation: Listen again to "Good afternoon, literature fans". They start with different letters, and the printed word is much longer.

Printed "express", the speaker says "share"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "I'm excited to share". The printed word is longer, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "worldwide", the speaker says "nationwide"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "of readers nationwide". Both words end the same, but they start with different letters.

Printed "logics", the speaker says "themes"

Explanation: The speaker says "Notably, the themes of", not "logics". The printed word 'logics' does not make sense there, so trust the audio.

Printed "among", the speaker says "between"

Explanation: Listen for "parallels between nature and". They start with different letters, and the spoken word is longer.

"poetry" matches the audio

Explanation: "collection of poetry that's" has the common word poetry, which can look like a change. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"emotions" matches the audio

Explanation: "depths of human emotions" may seem close to other words, but it matches the audio exactly. Do not click it.
