Correct Transcript:

Printed "gentrified", the speaker says "centralised"

Explanation: Listen again to "a highly centralised language". "gentrified" is written on the page, but you hear a different word.

Printed "abilities", the speaker says "entities"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "French-speaking political entities". Printed "abilities" starts with a different letter, so listen from the first sound.

Printed "dissident", the speaker says "different"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "the situation might be different". Both words start the same, so listen to the middle of the word.

Printed "monarchy", the speaker says "country"

Explanation: The speaker says "a separate country", not "monarchy". They start with different letters, so listen from the first sound.

"Parisian" matches the audio

Explanation: "the Parisian accent setting the". That name looks formal and may seem odd, but the speaker says it exactly as printed. Do not click it.

"Quebec" matches the audio

Explanation: "If, for instance, Quebec had remained". The place name may look like a trick, yet the audio matches the page. Do not click it.
