Listen to the sentence: 'The flight was delayed due to bad weather.' Now, choose the sentence that is exactly the same.
Answer: The flight was delayed due to bad weather.
The correct sentence uses the specific phrase 'due to'. The other options alter this with similar-sounding but incorrect prepositions or articles.
Listen to the sentence: 'She's been studying for this exam for three months.' Now, choose the sentence that is exactly the same.
Answer: She's been studying for this exam for three months.

Listen to the sentence: 'I wonder whether the report will be finished on time.' Now, choose the sentence that is exactly the same.

Listen to the sentence: 'The new system is far more efficient than the old one.' Now, choose the sentence that is exactly the same.
Answer: The new system is far more efficient than the old one.

Answer: Could you pass me the salt, please?

Listen to the sentence: 'The company's profits have exceeded expectations.' Now, choose the sentence that is exactly the same.
Answer: The company's profits have exceeded expectations.
