A.I. Explanation:

Question Focus: The diagram shows the first step after digging the pit, asking what is placed across the top of the pit.

Correct Answer: E

Passage Reference: Your sticks have to be a bit wider than the pit because you have to put a line of them along the top from one end of the pit to the other.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows long items laid across the pit. The speaker says you put a line of sticks along the top of the pit, from one end to the other. So the answer is sticks.

Common Mistake: Some students choose stones because stones are mentioned soon after. But the stones go on top of the sticks, not directly across the pit. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'put a line of them along the top' = Diagram: 'placed across the pit'

Tips: Listen carefully for order words like first, before, then.

Key Vocabulary:

• line = row
• along the top = across

Question Focus: The diagram shows what is put on top of the sticks before lighting the fire.

Correct Answer: F

Passage Reference: Before setting light to these, you take some large stones and arrange them on top.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows heavy objects placed on the sticks. You hear the speaker say to take some large stones and arrange them on top. That clearly matches stones.

Common Mistake: Some students choose earth because earth is used later. But earth is added at the very end, not at this stage. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'arrange them on top' = Diagram: 'placed above the sticks'

Tips: Do not jump ahead. Match each diagram step to the exact moment in the audio.

Key Vocabulary:

• arrange = place
• on top = above

Question Focus: The diagram shows what must be removed from the stones after the fire burns.

Correct Answer: B

Passage Reference: At this point, brush away any pieces of hot ash from the stones.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows unwanted material being removed. The speaker clearly says to brush away any pieces of hot ash from the stones. So the answer is ash.

Common Mistake: Some students choose grass because grass is mentioned in the same sentence. But grass is the tool used to remove the ash, not what is removed. This is a distractor trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'brush away any pieces of hot ash' = Diagram: 'remove material'

Tips: Ask yourself what is being removed and what is being used as a tool.

Key Vocabulary:

• brush away = remove
• ash = burnt remains

Question Focus: The diagram shows what covers the pit before the food is placed on it.

Correct Answer: D

Passage Reference: After that, you cover the whole pit with a thick layer of grass

Why this is correct: The diagram shows a soft covering over the pit. The speaker says you cover the whole pit with a thick layer of grass. That matches grass.

Common Mistake: Some students choose sticks because sticks were used earlier. But sticks are no longer used at this stage. This is a sequence trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'cover the whole pit' = Diagram: 'layer over the pit'

Tips: When you hear after that, expect the next diagram label.

Key Vocabulary:

• cover = put over
• layer = level

Question Focus: The diagram shows the final covering material used to seal the pit.

Correct Answer: C

Passage Reference: cover the whole thing with earth and pat it down to seal the pit

Why this is correct: The diagram shows the pit being completely closed. The speaker says to cover the whole thing with earth and pat it to seal the pit. So the answer is earth.

Common Mistake: Some students choose grass again because grass is used more than once. But the final sealing layer is earth, not grass. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'seal the pit' = Diagram: 'final covering'

Tips: Final steps often use words like finally or at the end.

Key Vocabulary:

• earth = soil
• seal = close tightly

Question Focus: The diagram shows what is poured into the hole at the very end of the process.

Correct Answer: G

Passage Reference: Then all you have to do is take the stick out and pour a bit of water into the opening that it leaves.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows liquid going into the hole. The speaker says to pour a bit of water into the opening left by the stick. So the answer is water.

Common Mistake: Some students choose air because steam and air sound related. But air is never added. This is a paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Transcript: 'pour a bit of water' = Diagram: 'add liquid'

Tips: Listen carefully for actions like pour, add, remove.

Key Vocabulary:

• pour = add liquid
• opening = hole

General Tips:

• Diagram steps follow the exact order of the recording, so move step by step.
• Listen for signpost words like before, after that, finally.
• Do not choose a word just because you hear it. Check what action is happening.
• If the speaker corrects or adds detail, the later information is usually the answer.
• Cross out used options to avoid repeating the same word.
