Answer key

  1. One company offers a higher salary, but it's in another city.The h of “higher” is clear.
  2. What about the chances of promotion in each job?“What about” is quick: “wha-dabout”.
  3. The smaller firm seems to have better long-term prospects.“Long-term” means lasting a long time; it can be written with or without a hyphen. Prospects are chances of future success.
  4. Then I'd think carefully before choosing the money.“I’d” is “I would” here.
  5. You're right, I should consider the commute as well.“You’re” is “you are”. The stress in “commute” is on “mute”.
