Printed "compliance", the speaker says "negative"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "negative in terms". The words start with different letters, so listen from the first sound.

Printed "patient", the speaker says "risk"

Explanation: The speaker says "risk, as well as" not "patient". The heard word is much shorter than the printed word, so trust the shorter sound.

Printed "punishment", the speaker says "permit"

Explanation: Listen for "permit as well as". Both words start with p, so wait for the end of the word to tell them apart.

Printed "preference", the speaker says "disturbance"

Explanation: You will hear "sleep disruption and sleep disturbance". Both words end the same, so follow the whole word, not just the end.

Printed "alongwith", the speaker says "between"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "somewhere between sort of". The printed word is longer and starts with a different letter, so listen carefully.

Printed "adverse", the speaker says "ill"

Explanation: Listen again to "any ill health". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, and the spoken word is much shorter.

"shift" matches the audio
