# PTE ASQ #39: Classification of Citrus Fruits

Answer Short Question #39 - Level 3 - Feeds Listening

> You will hear a question. Please give a simple and short answer. Often just one or a few words is enough.

## Answer

Citrus

## Explanation

The correct answer is citrus. These fruits belong to the genus Citrus, characterized by their thick rinds and pulpy segments.

What to watch: The question names "orange, mandarin and lemon" and asks for the fruit "category." These sour, juicy fruits are citrus fruits, so "citrus" is enough. Do not answer with one of the fruits, and do not say "tropical," which is a different grouping.

## Hints

- Think about the common name used for fruits that have a thick, leathery skin and are often used for their juice.
- The word starts with the letter C and is often associated with high vitamin C content.
