Explanation

Correct: A — “artefacts” in British English, “artifacts” in American; stress on the first syllable: /ˈɑː.tɪ.fækts/

Correct answer: A – mummies /ˈmʌmiz/ means preserved dead bodies; “mommies” means “mothers” in informal American English, “mummys” is a common misspelling, and “mammies” is an old-fashioned or offensive term for a woman servant or mother figure. Pronunciation tip: Mummies → first syllable “mum” like “mother,” but with short vowel /ʌ/ Stress is on the first syllable: MUM-mies

“returned” /rɪˈtɜːnd/ Stress: re-TURN-ed. → came/go back or gave back. Example: “The stolen painting was returned to the museum.” “retained” /rɪˈteɪnd/ Stress: re-TAIN-ed.→ kept or continued to have. Example: “The museum retained the painting despite requests to give it back.”

Correct answer: features /ˈfiː.tʃəz/ means includes or has as a special part. dinosaur /ˈdaɪ.nə.sɔːr/ is the correct spelling and pronunciation; “dynosaur” and “dinasour” are common misspellings, while “dinozor” reflects mispronunciation.

Correct answer: ancestors /ˈæn.ses.təz/ are people in your family who lived a long time ago, from whom you are descended. Common listening/spelling mistakes include replacing the -ces- with -ces-/-cis-, adding or changing vowels, or inserting an extra syllable. Pronunciation tip: First syllable AN is stressed. Middle ces is /ses/, not /sɪs/ or /sest/.

Correct answer: hunter-gatherers /ˈhʌn.tə ˌɡæð.ər.əz/ are people who lived by hunting animals and gathering plants before farming began. Common errors: dropping the final -ers (“gathers”), doubling plurals (“hunters-gatherers”), or mishearing as “gardners.”

treasures /ˈtreʒ.əz/ means valuable objects, often with historical or cultural importance.

Correct: “exhibition” /ˌek.sɪˈbɪʃ.ən/, commonly confused with “expedition” /ˌek.spəˈdɪʃ.ən/

interconnected /ˌɪn.tə.kəˈnek.tɪd/ means linked or related to each other. Pronunciation tip: Stress falls on -nect-: in-ter-NECT-ed

(Correct: — “upwards” /ˈʌp.wədz/
