the marking is incorrect and correct answers are not provided and there’s also some problems with the audio

29 should be F instead of A, no?

Sometimes it checks answers incorrectly from the answer sheet. Please fix that. Otherwise, great site!

The audio didn’t have good quality. that’s frustrating

I think the answer for question 29 is (F) not (A)

Does anyone understand what the vegan project girl said about the first ingredient before she used chickpeas? I tried to listen multiple times but I don’t get it

Audio?

Is not the 6th questions answer is experiment? The key says sound but in the audioscripts it goes like this`here the children experiment with natural materials to create sound and explore the rhytm and tempo.
