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

Very interesting. I pretty much concord with all the choices marked every bit correct.
Simply I have some commments:
--In #four, the words should be "Kickoff" and "Second", non "Firstly" and "Secondly". But "finally," is the correct choice.
--In #nine, in my opinion the choice "long, blackness, leather coats"--though better than the other two choices--isn't really good. It ought to be "long black leather coats" without the commas.
--In #12, dissimilar FounDit, I prefer "had been intending..." to "have been intending...". To me, "had been intending" does not mean y'all ceased intending to terminate smoking.
--In #13, I have to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Mind you"--I would prefer "However--but "Notwithstanding" that wasn't one of the choices, and "Mind yous" is better than the other two.
--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a better matched pair than "concrete architect" in nearly contexts. In the absenteeism of a context for the sentence, "physical builder" is an acceptable answer.

#four Firstly and secondly are commonly used in British English.
I concord with FounDit for #12 I prefer "have been", it's 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 clan information technology is not nearly forming an actual pairing architect and concrete get together in the same way breadstuff and baker or bat and cricketer practice.
Remember the British Quango is trying to teach people to speak English equally it is used in Britain today, on behalf of the British Regime, some of its usages won't match American English.

The ones I saw were #12 and #22.
In #12, I could see circumstances in which all three choices could be the "best pick".
Personally, I'd use "has been" or "was" in most circumstances.
In #22, "concrete proposal" is a common phrase. "Concrete builder" isn't.
A architect may use concrete occasionally, but at that place'south no such job every bit "concrete architect".
Yes, I'd commonly use "heed you".
Mind you, information technology is a lilliputian "archaic"
, in that the verb "listen" meaning "pay attention" is non at present used intransitively; AND imperatives don't nowadays accept that form with the 'person' afterwards the verb. "Mind you" = "(Yous) take notice!" = "but I'g mentioning and so that y'all can accept observe"

My "native speech" is AmE, but I lived in England for iv years and have many British friends, and so I'm very familiar with BrE. My showtime wife grew up in Gateshead and later in Banbury, and then I know both Geordie and Thames Valley speech--so much so that when I saw the flick "Billy Eliot" [2000]--set more often than not in Tyneside and full of Geordie accents--in the theater here in Illinois, I was the only person in the audience who understood all of what was being said.
I know, for example, nigh "mind you lot"--which is the best selection of the iii put forrad in #13. Information technology'due south a well-known BrE phrase, and is not unknown in AmE. Of the three choices given, it's the one I would cull.
But, if 1 of the choices for #thirteen were "However", that is the one I would option. It's perfectly good BrE and AmE.
I have seen both American and British usage guides that prefer "first" and "second" to "firstly" and "secondly". Most usage guides agree, though, that the "-ly" forms are adequate, and more formal.

Gateshead to Banbury - couldn't exist much unlike, dialectically, and stay in England!
Similar FounDit, I'1000 curious how 25 questions can give a score of
94%.
That means one question incorrect and 1 "one-half-right".
Nigh of the questions (being multiple option) tin't exist 'half-right'.

Hi Everyone!
Thank you all very much indeed,
But, practice you not recall nosotros must have a comma after "mind you"?
In that location is no comma in the original question question. And then, I excluded the 'a' and 'c' since both must accept a following comma if they initiated a phrase.
Anne: Oh! I watched the new TV bear witness last night.
Jo: Was it any adept?
Anne: Yes. Mind you the TV fix is so old I could come across very niggling.
I read Guide for Mixed Tense Exercises:
Quote:
Time word: Before:
Time clause tense: Simple nowadays, Simple past
Main clause tense: Simple future
Before Karen leaves for work, she will roller-skate around her business firm three times.
Fourth dimension word: Before
Time clause tense: simple by
Main clause tense: Simple by or by perfect
Before Karen left for piece of work, she (had) roller-skated effectually her house three times.
Then, in no #12, the speaker is talking about two actions, "I got coughing", and "the "intend to stop smoking". "Intend to stop smoking" happened before "I got cough". And so, I think that the past perfect progressive must be used in the main clause tense(I had been intending to stop smoking) and the past unproblematic in the time clause tense(before I got this bad cough).
I had been intending to terminate smoking(chief clause tense) even before I got this bad cough(time clause tense).
a. would take been
b. had been
c. have been

PS. FounDit , along with Dragonspeaker , I am sorry I was wrong that I said I scored 94%. I scored 96%, really.
Yes, each question of the 25 questions tin give a score of 4%.
So, 4% 10 25 = 4/100 X 25/100 = 100/100 = 100%.
For the 12th question, when I selected "have been", my score decreased by 4%. However, when selecting 'had been', I scored 96%. That means another question wrong.

Yous're correct on #12 - the most "grammatically correct" is the past perfect (plus the unproblematic past), when looked at logically (sorting out WHEN each matter happened).
The one y'all had wrong is #22 - concrete proposal.
Take a look at the n-gram graph here.
It's probably but a phrase you lot've never come beyond - it'southward more often than not a business organization or legal-type idea.
con•crete adj.
1. constituting an actual thing or example; real; perceptible; substantial: physical proof.
2. pertaining to or concerned with realities or bodily 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 two points had been taken off for the "builder/physical/proposal" question. Only since there was no mention of that, I assumed either reply would be given credit, since "builder" and either "concrete" or "proposal" fits. That was really a poor question. But 96 is an first-class score. Well done.

Yes, exactly: all the answers by A cooperator are correct except 22c: "concrete proposal".
Not that "concrete architect" per se is incorrect, information technology's but that they wanted united states of america to choose the most frequent lexical collocation, which is "concrete proposal".
But stick to all the answers given past A cooperator - except for 22 - and you'll score 100%!

By the way, the phrase "Mind you" in #13 should take been followed past a comma: "Mind you, the TV fix is then old...." rather than "Heed y'all the Boob tube set is so old...".

ane. All of the answers cooperator posted are correct, except question 22: the correct respond (according to the britishcouncil.org website) is: concrete proposal (this is what I answered and I got 100%).
It should be noted, though, that few questions in that exam have more than 1 correct answer. For case, another word for "complete" can also be "full" if used every bit an describing word (the question in the exam refers to its verb course, thus "end" is accepted every bit the right choice).
two. Question 9: (a) is the correct choice (long, black, leather) considering the order of adjectives follows the ranking conventions of standard English: opinion, size, historic period, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose. Thus, long comes before black, and leather is the last in rank.
3. Question 12: the by perfect tense is the only grammatically correct option. Choice c (have been) is grammatically incorrect (the clause "before I got this bad cough" is in the by tense, and the "intention" precedes the emergence of the cough).
