Printed "negligible", the speaker says "negative"

Explanation: Listen again to "have negative side effects". You will find "negligible" printed there. Both start with the same letter, but the printed word is much longer and ends differently.

Printed "therapy", the speaker says "treatment"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "low-cost alternative treatment". That line reads "therapy" instead. Both start with the same letter, but the spoken word is longer.

Printed "physical", the speaker says "psychological"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "mental health and psychological". The printed line shows "physical" instead. Both begin with p and they share the same final letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "reducing", the speaker says "combating"
