The only one I would question is #12
12.
Choose the all-time word or phrase to complete the judgement.
I ... intending to stop smoking even before I got this bad cough.
a. would accept been
b. had been
c. take been
I would have chosen C. "have been". It could exist argued that using "had been" gives the impression you gave up the intention before getting the bad coughing. Using "accept been" conveys an intention that was on-going when yous got the cough. I don't know why you scored 94, however. With 25 questions, each should be worth 4 points each, so you should have scored a 96.

Very interesting. I pretty much agree with all the choices marked equally correct.
But I have some commments:
--In #4, the words should be "First" and "Second", not "Firstly" and "Secondly". But "finally," is the correct pick.
--In #9, in my opinion the choice "long, black, leather coats"--though better than the other two choices--isn't actually good. It ought to be "long black leather coats" without the commas.
--In #12, unlike FounDit, I adopt "had been intending..." to "have been intending...". To me, "had been intending" does not mean you ceased intending to stop smoking.
--In #13, I have to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Mind you"--I would prefer "Nevertheless--but "Yet" that wasn't one of the choices, and "Mind you" is better than the other ii.
--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a ameliorate matched pair than "concrete builder" in nearly contexts. In the absence of a context for the sentence, "concrete builder" is an acceptable answer.

#four Firstly and secondly are commonly used in British English language.
I agree with FounDit for #12 I prefer "have been", it'southward how most British people would utilize that phrase.
#13 Heed you is the phrase that an ordinary British person would use.
#22 is a question of association it is not almost forming an actual pairing builder and physical get together in the aforementioned mode bread and baker or bat and cricketer do.
Remember the British Council is trying to teach people to speak English as information technology is used in U.k. today, on behalf of the British Government, some of its usages won't match American English.

The ones I saw were #12 and #22.
In #12, I could meet circumstances in which all iii choices could be the "best choice".
Personally, I'd use "has been" or "was" in most circumstances.
In #22, "physical proposal" is a common phrase. "Concrete builder" isn't.
A builder may use concrete occasionally, just there's no such job as "physical architect".
Yes, I'd normally use "mind you lot".
Listen you lot, it is a piddling "primitive"
, in that the verb "mind" pregnant "pay attention" is not at present used intransitively; AND imperatives don't nowadays have that form with the 'person' after the verb. "Mind yous" = "(Yous) take notice!" = "but I'chiliad mentioning so that you tin can take find"

My "native spoken language" is AmE, merely I lived in England for four years and have many British friends, so I'm very familiar with BrE. My first wife grew upward in Gateshead and later in Banbury, then I know both Geordie and Thames Valley speech--so much so that when I saw the picture show "Billy Eliot" [2000]--ready mostly in Tyneside and full of Geordie accents--in the theater here in Illinois, I was the merely person in the audience who understood all of what was existence said.
I know, for example, about "mind you"--which is the best option of the iii put forward in #13. Information technology's a well-known BrE phrase, and is non unknown in AmE. Of the three choices given, it's the one I would choose.
But, if one of the choices for #xiii were "However", that is the i I would pick. It'southward perfectly skilful BrE and AmE.
I have seen both American and British usage guides that prefer "showtime" and "second" to "firstly" and "secondly". Almost usage guides hold, though, that the "-ly" forms are acceptable, and more formal.

Gateshead to Banbury - couldn't be much unlike, dialectically, and stay in England!
Like FounDit, I'thou curious how 25 questions tin give a score of
94%.
That means one question wrong and one "half-right".
Most of the questions (being multiple choice) can't be 'half-correct'.

Hi Anybody!
Thanks all very much indeed,
But, do you not think we must have a comma after "mind yous"?
There is no comma in the original question question. So, I excluded the 'a' and 'c' since both must have a following comma if they initiated a phrase.
Anne: Oh! I watched the new Tv prove last nighttime.
Jo: Was it whatsoever skilful?
Anne: Yes. Mind you lot the TV ready is so old I could run into very little.
I read Guide for Mixed Tense Exercises:
Quote:
Time word: Before:
Time clause tense: Uncomplicated present, Simple by
Chief clause tense: Simple future
Before Karen leaves for work, she will roller-skate around her house three times.
Time discussion: Before
Fourth dimension clause tense: simple past
Main clause tense: Simple past or past perfect
Before Karen left for work, she (had) roller-skated around her house 3 times.
So, in no #12, the speaker is talking almost two actions, "I got coughing", and "the "intend to stop smoking". "Intend to cease smoking" happened before "I got cough". So, I retrieve that the past perfect progressive must be used in the main clause tense(I had been intending to terminate smoking) and the past simple in the time clause tense(earlier I got this bad coughing).
I had been intending to stop smoking(principal clause tense) even before I got this bad coughing(time clause tense).
a. would have been
b. had been
c. have been

PS. FounDit , along with Dragonspeaker , I am sad I was incorrect that I said I scored 94%. I scored 96%, really.
Aye, each question of the 25 questions can give a score of 4%.
And then, iv% X 25 = four/100 Ten 25/100 = 100/100 = 100%.
For the twelfth question, when I selected "have been", my score decreased past 4%. However, when selecting 'had been', I scored 96%. That means another question wrong.

You're right on #12 - the near "grammatically correct" is the past perfect (plus the simple past), when looked at logically (sorting out WHEN each thing happened).
The one y'all had wrong is #22 - concrete proposal.
Take a look at the n-gram graph here.
Information technology's probably just a phrase you've never come across - information technology's more often than not a business or legal-type idea.
con•crete adj.
1. constituting an bodily thing or instance; existent; perceptible; substantial: concrete proof.
2. pertaining to or concerned with realities or actual instances rather than abstractions; particular as opposed to general: concrete proposals.
Still, I'd say 96 is a
goodscore. Well done.

I wondered when I read the score of 94 if 2 points had been taken off for the "builder/concrete/proposal" question. But since in that location was no mention of that, I assumed either answer would exist given credit, since "builder" and either "concrete" or "proposal" fits. That was really a poor question. But 96 is an excellent score. Well done.

Yes, exactly: all the answers by A cooperator are correct except 22c: "physical proposal".
Non that "concrete builder" per se is wrong, it'southward simply that they wanted the states to choose the nigh frequent lexical collocation, which is "concrete proposal".
But stick to all the answers given by A cooperator - except for 22 - and you'll score 100%!

Past the way, the phrase "Mind you" in #thirteen should accept been followed by a comma: "Mind you, the TV set is so one-time...." rather than "Listen you the Idiot box set is so one-time...".
