Questions 31–40: Note Completion
Strategy: Predict the word class from the note, find the paraphrase of the note's keyword in the transcript, then copy the answer exactly within the word limit.
“Promotion goals in different life situations emphasise achievement.”
Promotion goals 'in different life situations emphasise achievement', so achievement is the goal type named.
“This factor is connected to a person’s personality and says that each person has a basic tendency to either focus more on promotion goals or focus more on prevention goals as part of his or her personality.”
This factor is 'connected to a person's personality', which inclines people to one goal type, so personality is the term.
“Second, there is a situational factor which means that the context we are in can make us more likely to focus on one set of goals or the other.”
The lecture names 'a situational factor', where context pushes us toward one set of goals, so Situational is the label.
“For example, we are more likely to be thinking about pleasure and to have promotion goals when we are spending time with a friend.”
We tend to have promotion goals 'when we are spending time with a friend', so friend is the social situation.
“For example, when focusing on promotion goals, people consider their ideal self, their aspirations and gains.”
With promotion goals 'people consider their ideal self, their aspirations and gains', so aspirations is the noun.
“Now that I have talked about the two focuses and how they affect people, I want to look at the idea that the way leaders behave, or their style of leading, can affect the focus that followers adopt in a specific situation.”
The lecture turns to the way leaders behave, 'or their style of leading', so style is the word.

Transformational leaders 'focus on their development' when interacting with followers, so development is the focus.
“Their speech is passionate and conveys a definitive vision.”
Their speech is 'passionate and conveys a definitive vision', so vision is what the speech conveys.
“In contrast, transactional leaders focus on developing clear structures that tell their followers exactly what is expected of them.”
Transactional leaders 'focus on developing clear structures', so structures is the plural noun.
