How to Use This Answer Key

Play the recording once, exactly as the real test does, and resist the urge to pause or rewind before checking answers here. For any mismatch, replay only that short section afterward and listen for signposting language such as “however” or “actually”, which often signals the speaker is about to correct or update the answer.
