If you look at the end list of possible answers, you will see "findings" is acceptable as an answer and you would not lose a mark. However,? "results" and "findings" have similar meaning, so I would prefer "analysis" or "study".

For answer no. 2, my answer was 'findings', since it the first word he says which matches the question. Later they have confused it with analysis. So which would be correct.? I believe many would have answered findings like I have done, which also suits the question.

In an IELTS exam it will say "write not more than.. one/two/three .. words. In this exercise it says write a word or a number. The answers sheet is in note form, so sentences are not formally constructed. In an IELTS exam, for example, it? might say 'not more than two words', so either "an analysis" or "analysis" would be correct, as long as the grammatical context is OK. Good luck!

so, do we have to write one word for the answers? would it be wrong if we wrote "an analysis" instead of just "analysis".? or "a part of the brain" instead of writing the word "brain"?

I didn't get number 3 right. Listening back the reader misses two words before the word 'brain'. This missing words are ..."to? the brain." Quite annoying...
