Printed "detraction", the speaker says "discussion"

Explanation: Listen again to "a lot of discussion about". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "fetichist", the speaker says "physicist"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "the great physicist Niels Bohr". They start with different letters, but both end the same way.

Printed "restarts", the speaker says "disagreements"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "strong scientific disagreements with". They start with different letters and the spoken word is much longer.

Printed "conditioner", the speaker says "primative"

Explanation: The speaker says "primative Institute for Theoretical", not "conditioner". The printed word 'conditioner' does not make sense before 'Institute'.

Printed "peddling", the speaker says "interesting"

Explanation: Listen for "thought would be interesting to". Both words end the same way, so follow the sound from the start.

"Prize" matches the audio

Explanation: "the Nobel Prize the same year" may look like a trick because several words changed. It is exactly what the speaker says, so do not click it.

"Einstein" matches the audio

Explanation: "with Albert Einstein" looks like it could be altered, but the speaker says it exactly as printed. Do not click it.
