34 The correct answer is ‘balance’: 
The speaker says that dance reduces the risk of falls 
(accidents) among the elderly ‘by helping people to improve their balance’.

incorrect 
as the quality of the dancing is not mentioned.

The speaker says that remembering steps and dance routines 
‘forces [the] brain to process things more quickly and to retain more information’.

motivation to be more active and do daily activities’.

as they are examples of activities or exercise. 
37 The correct answer is ‘isolation’: 
The speaker says that dance can ‘reduce older people’s 
sense of isolation, which is a huge problem in many countries’.

is incorrect
as 
the speaker says that dance requires this.
38 The correct answer is ‘calories’: 
The speaker says that the study showed that a 40-minute 
Zumba class ‘burns about 370 calories’ and he compares this to ‘moderately (quite) intense 
exercises like step aerobics or kickboxing’.
39 The correct answer is ‘obesity’: 
The speaker says that the journal showed weight loss 
among ‘women with obesity’ who did Zumba. 
‘Body fat’ is incorrect
as the instructions tell you 
to write one word only.
40 The correct answer is ‘habit’:

that they made it a habit’.
