Correct Transcript:

Addiction is of many types. One of the addictions is the alcohol addiction. No doubt intake of alcohol in moderate quantity could be good for the health, but if taken in excess it has serious consequences. Most of the adverse physical effects are due to consumption of alcohol at levels above recommended sensible limits. Drinking too much of alcohol on a single occasion or over time can take a serious toll on your health. Alcohol badly affects almost all the organs, like brain, heart and immune system, but it most affects and damages the liver. Drinking a lot on a certain occasion also slows your body's ability to ward off infections — even up to 24 hours after getting drunk.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "taking", the speaker says "intake"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "intake of alcohol in". You see "taking" printed in the text, so click it. The first letters are different, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "adequate", the speaker says "moderate"

Explanation: Listen again to "in moderate quantity could". In the transcript it shows "adequate", so click that. Both words end the same, so listen to the whole word, not the ending.

Printed "severe", the speaker says "serious"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "it has serious consequences". The page shows "severe", click that word. Both start with the same letter, so wait for the full word to tell them apart.

Printed "sensitive", the speaker says "sensible"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "recommended sensible limits". The text has "sensitive", so click that. The words end differently, so listen to the last part of the word.

Printed "pall", the speaker says "toll"

Explanation: The speaker says "take a serious toll on" not "pall". You will find "pall" printed, so click it. They start with different letters, so watch the start of the word.

Printed "inane", the speaker says "immune"

Explanation: Listen for "and immune system but". The transcript shows "inane", so click that. Both words end the same, so you must hear the whole word to decide.

"Addiction" matches the audio

Explanation: "Addiction is of many types" has the word Addiction. It looks formal, but the speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"alcohol" matches the audio

Explanation: "the alcohol addiction" has the word alcohol. It repeats nearby but matches the audio, so do not click it.
