Correct Transcript:

We have a plethora of means by which we can detect and diagnose cancer. This involves imaging techniques, blood tests, biopsies and even diagnostics at the molecular level. You have to include these three techniques in order for a true diagnosis; endoscopy, biopsy and molecular analysis. In endoscopy, a fin tube with a camera and light is inserted into the body to examine the area. Biopsy involves taking a sample of the tumor and then analysing it.

Printed "biopolar", the speaker says "molecular"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "diagnostics at the molecular". They start with different letters, and both end with the same two letters.

Printed "reference", the speaker says "order"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "in order for a". They begin with different letters and they also end differently, so follow the sound.

Printed "big", the speaker says "fin"

Explanation: The speaker says "a fin tube", not "big". The words begin with different letters and end differently, so listen for that one word.

Printed "takes", the speaker says "involves"

Explanation: Listen for "Biopsy involves taking". They share the same ending letters, so focus on how the word starts to tell them apart.

Printed "bringing", the speaker says "analysing"

Explanation: You will hear "then analysing it". The spoken word is longer and starts with a different letter, so trust the audio on the action.

"plethora" matches the audio

Explanation: "We have a plethora of means" may look unusual or rare. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"endoscopy" matches the audio

Explanation: "true diagnosis. Endoscopy, biopsy" looks technical and may seem changed. The speaker reads it as printed, so do not click it.
