Practice Listening: Select Missing Word ID: #41083 Short Feeding Zoo Animals
Instructions ›
You will see a video about the diverse and substantial dietary requirements of zoo animals. At the end of the recording the last word or group of words has been replaced by a beep. Select the correct option to complete the recording.

Transcript:

Got some crickets for you today? In addition to 700,000 crickets, the zoo's elegant dining selection includes 20 tons of bananas, £150,000 of seafood, 60 tons of meat, plus other delicacies such as over a million meal boards. And that's just a fraction of the zoo's annual grocery list. Those meal ones are ground dog food or chow, and mixed seed. You can see their food is kind of squishy, so they do get the hard bone to chew on to keep those pearly whites, nice and clean and (sharp).

Option 1: "sharp"

Explanation: The text mentions that the crickets' food is 'kind of squishy,' and they receive 'the hard bone to chew on to keep those pearly whites, nice and clean and (sharp).' This indicates that the correct answer, 'sharp,' directly relates to the idea of maintaining the health and cleanliness of their teeth, which is a key theme in the text.

Option 2: "dull"

Explanation: The term 'dull' contradicts the context provided in the text. The passage emphasizes keeping the teeth 'sharp,' so 'dull' is not only incorrect but also presents a contradictory idea regarding dental health.

Option 3: "soft"

Explanation: While 'soft' could describe the food mentioned, it does not fit the context of the sentence about the condition of the teeth. The text specifically states the need for hard bones to maintain 'sharp' teeth, making 'soft' an irrelevant choice.

Option 4: "rounded"

Explanation: The word 'rounded' does not align with the context of the sentence. The focus is on keeping the teeth 'sharp,' and 'rounded' does not convey the same meaning or relate to the dental care described in the text.
