## Answer

1. delivered
2. unemployment
3. thoughts
4. satisfaction

## Explanation

Use the grammar around each gap. "To be ___ by" needs a past participle, so you write "delivered" with -ed. "The ___ rate" points to "unemployment", a long word with a double m. "Thoughts and feelings" is a fixed pair, so check that you add the final -s.

## Hints

- Focus on the key terms related to the report's methodology and the specific indicators mentioned.
- Listen carefully to the speaker's pronunciation of the missing words in the context of the full sentences.
