The organisers acknowledge (20) .......... when the history of a recording cannot be confirmed.
The organisers also wanted to avoid the (21) .......... that every recording represented a shared view.
Unexpectedly, the most (22) .......... comments came from teenagers who had moved to the area recently.

Community sound archive — Part 3: Word Formation
"Community sound archive" focuses on Word Formation (Part 3), where a base word in capitals must be transformed to fit a gap in the text. Cambridge tests prefixation, suffixation, internal changes and negative forms. Before writing, identify the word class required (noun, adjective, adverb or verb) and whether the sentence needs a negative or comparative form. Spelling accuracy matters — an otherwise correct stem with a typo scores zero.
