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

Very interesting. I pretty much hold with all the choices marked as right.
Simply I take some commments:
--In #4, the words should be "First" and "2d", not "Firstly" and "Secondly". Merely "finally," is the correct choice.
--In #9, in my opinion the option "long, blackness, leather coats"--though better than the other two choices--isn't really good. Information technology ought to exist "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 lot ceased intending to stop smoking.
--In #13, I accept to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Listen you"--I would prefer "However--only "However" that wasn't one of the choices, and "Mind you" is meliorate than the other 2.
--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a improve matched pair than "concrete architect" in nigh contexts. In the absence of a context for the judgement, "physical architect" is an acceptable answer.

--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a better matched pair than "concrete architect" in near contexts. In the absence of a context for the judgement, "concrete builder" is an acceptable answer.
#4 Firstly and secondly are ordinarily used in British English language.
I agree with FounDit for #12 I prefer "have been", information technology'southward how nigh British people would use that phrase.
#thirteen Mind you is the phrase that an ordinary British person would utilize.
#22 is a question of association information technology is not nigh forming an actual pairing builder and concrete go together in the same way staff of life and baker or bat and cricketer do.
Remember the British Quango is trying to teach people to speak English as it is used in United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland today, on behalf of the British Authorities, some of its usages won't match American English.

The ones I saw were #12 and #22.
In #12, I could come across circumstances in which all three choices could be the "all-time choice".
Personally, I'd utilise "has been" or "was" in virtually circumstances.
In #22, "concrete proposal" is a common phrase. "Concrete builder" isn't.
A builder may use concrete occasionally, but at that place's no such job as "concrete builder".
Yes, I'd normally apply "mind you".
Listen you, it is a footling "archaic"
, in that the verb "mind" meaning "pay attention" is not now used intransitively; AND imperatives don't present have that form with the 'person' after the verb. "Mind you" = "(You) take notice!" = "but I'm mentioning and then that you tin take observe"

My "native speech" is AmE, but I lived in England for 4 years and have many British friends, so I'yard very familiar with BrE. My first wife grew up in Gateshead and later in Banbury, and so I know both Geordie and Thames Valley spoken language--so much so that when I saw the movie "Billy Eliot" [2000]--set mostly in Tyneside and full of Geordie accents--in the theater hither in Illinois, I was the only person in the audience who understood all of what was being said.
I know, for case, about "mind you"--which is the best choice of the three put forward in #13. It'southward a well-known BrE phrase, and is non unknown in AmE. Of the 3 choices given, it'south the one I would choose.
Just, if 1 of the choices for #13 were "However", that is the 1 I would pick. Information technology'south perfectly expert BrE and AmE.
I have seen both American and British usage guides that prefer "beginning" and "2d" to "firstly" and "secondly". Almost usage guides concur, though, that the "-ly" forms are acceptable, and more formal.

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

Hullo Everyone!
Thank yous all very much indeed,
Merely, do you not think we must have a comma after "mind you"?
In that location is no comma in the original question question. And 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 testify last night.
Jo: Was it any skilful?
Anne: Yep. Mind you the Television set set up is so old I could see very fiddling.
I read Guide for Mixed Tense Exercises:
Quote:
Time word: Before:
Time clause tense: Uncomplicated present, Simple past
Main clause tense: Elementary future
Before Karen leaves for work, she will roller-skate around her house three times.
Time word: Before
Fourth dimension clause tense: simple past
Main clause tense: Simple past or past perfect
Earlier Karen left for work, she (had) roller-skated effectually her firm 3 times.
So, in no #12, the speaker is talking almost two actions, "I got cough", and "the "intend to end smoking". "Intend to stop smoking" happened before "I got coughing". So, I think that the past perfect progressive must be used in the primary 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 finish smoking(principal clause tense) even before I got this bad cough(fourth dimension clause tense).
a. would have been
b. had been
c. take been

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

You're right on #12 - the almost "grammatically right" is the past perfect (plus the unproblematic past), when looked at logically (sorting out WHEN each thing happened).
The 1 you had incorrect is #22 - concrete proposal.
Take a look at the n-gram graph here.
Information technology'south probably merely a phrase you've never come beyond - information technology's mostly a business concern or legal-type idea.
con•crete adj.
one. constituting an actual thing or case; real; perceptible; substantial: physical proof.
ii. 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 washed.

All the same, 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 be given credit, since "builder" and either "concrete" or "proposal" fits. That was actually a poor question. But 96 is an first-class score. Well done.

Yep, exactly: all the answers by A cooperator are correct except 22c: "concrete proposal".
Not that "concrete builder" per se is wrong, it's just that they wanted us to choose the well-nigh frequent lexical collocation, which is "concrete proposal".
Just stick to all the answers given by A cooperator - except for 22 - and y'all'll score 100%!

By the manner, the phrase "Listen y'all" in #13 should have been followed past a comma: "Mind you, the Goggle box is and so old...." rather than "Heed you lot the Television receiver set is so onetime...".

1. All of the answers cooperator posted are right, 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 test take more than one correct answer. For example, some other word for "complete" can also be "full" if used as an adjective (the question in the test refers to its verb form, thus "finish" is accepted as the correct pick).
2. Question nine: (a) is the correct choice (long, black, leather) because the order of adjectives follows the ranking conventions of standard English: opinion, size, age, shape, color, 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 selection. Option c (take been) is grammatically incorrect (the clause "before I got this bad cough" is in the past tense, and the "intention" precedes the emergence of the coughing).
