The but one I would question is #12
12.
Choose the all-time word or phrase to complete the sentence.
I ... intending to cease smoking even before I got this bad cough.
a. would have been
b. had been
c. have been
I would take called C. "take been". It could exist argued that using "had been" gives the impression you gave upwards the intention before getting the bad cough. Using "have 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 y'all should have scored a 96.

Very interesting. I pretty much agree with all the choices marked as correct.
Merely I have some commments:
--In #four, the words should be "First" and "Second", not "Firstly" and "Secondly". Just "finally," is the correct choice.
--In #ix, in my stance the choice "long, blackness, leather coats"--though meliorate than the other two choices--isn't really expert. It ought to be "long black leather coats" without the commas.
--In #12, unlike FounDit, I prefer "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 "Still--only "Nevertheless" that wasn't i of the choices, and "Mind you" is meliorate than the other two.
--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a meliorate matched pair than "concrete builder" in nigh contexts. In the absence of a context for the sentence, "concrete architect" is an acceptable answer.

Simply I have some commments:

--In #9, in my stance the selection "long, black, leather coats"--though ameliorate than the other ii choices--isn't really adept. It ought to exist "long black leather coats" without the commas.
--In #12, unlike FounDit, I prefer "had been intending..." to "have been intending...". To me, "had been intending" does non hateful you lot ceased intending to stop smoking.
--In #13, I accept to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Listen you"--I would prefer "Even so--but "However" that wasn't one of the choices, and "Mind you" is improve than the other two.
--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a better matched pair than "physical builder" in nearly contexts. In the absenteeism of a context for the judgement, "concrete builder" is an acceptable respond.
#4 Firstly and secondly are commonly used in British English.
I concord with FounDit for #12 I prefer "have been", information technology's how most British people would utilise that phrase.
#13 Mind you is the phrase that an ordinary British person would use.
#22 is a question of association it is not about forming an actual pairing architect and concrete go together in the same way bread and baker or bat and cricketer do.
Recall the British Council is trying to teach people to speak English every bit information technology is used in Britain today, on behalf of the British Authorities, some of its usages won't match American English language.

The ones I saw were #12 and #22.
In #12, I could run across circumstances in which all three choices could be the "all-time choice".
Personally, I'd use "has been" or "was" in well-nigh circumstances.
In #22, "physical proposal" is a common phrase. "Concrete builder" isn't.
A architect may apply concrete occasionally, but there's no such job as "physical builder".
Yes, I'd commonly use "mind you".
Heed you, it is a little "archaic"
, in that the verb "mind" meaning "pay attention" is not now used intransitively; AND imperatives don't nowadays have that class with the 'person' after the verb. "Mind you lot" = "(You) take notice!" = "merely I'thousand mentioning and then that y'all can take find"

My "native speech" is AmE, merely I lived in England for four years and accept many British friends, and so I'm very familiar with BrE. My first wife grew up in Gateshead and afterwards in Banbury, and then I know both Geordie and Thames Valley voice communication--then much so that when I saw the film "Billy Eliot" [2000]--set generally in Tyneside and full of Geordie accents--in the theater here in Illinois, I was the only person in the audition who understood all of what was being said.
I know, for example, about "mind you"--which is the all-time choice of the three put frontward in #13. It'southward a well-known BrE phrase, and is non unknown in AmE. Of the three choices given, it's the one I would choose.
Merely, if one of the choices for #13 were "However", that is the one I would pick. It's perfectly good BrE and AmE.
I have seen both American and British usage guides that prefer "first" and "2nd" to "firstly" and "secondly". Most usage guides agree, though, that the "-ly" forms are acceptable, and more formal.

Gateshead to Banbury - couldn't be much different, dialectically, and stay in England!
Like FounDit, I'm curious how 25 questions can give a score of
94%.
That means 1 question wrong and one "half-right".
Most of the questions (beingness multiple choice) can't be 'half-right'.

Hi Everyone!
Thank yous all very much indeed,
Merely, practice you not retrieve we must have a comma after "mind you lot"?
There is no comma in the original question question. And so, I excluded the 'a' and 'c' since both must have a post-obit comma if they initiated a phrase.
Anne: Oh! I watched the new TV show concluding night.
Jo: Was it any proficient?
Anne: Yes. Mind you the TV prepare is so old I could run into very petty.
I read Guide for Mixed Tense Exercises:
Quote:
Fourth dimension word: Before:
Time clause tense: Simple present, Uncomplicated by
Principal clause tense: Unproblematic future
Before Karen leaves for work, she will roller-skate effectually her business firm 3 times.
Time word: Before
Time clause tense: simple past
Primary clause tense: Unproblematic by or past perfect
Earlier Karen left for work, she (had) roller-skated around her house three times.
So, in no #12, the speaker is talking about ii actions, "I got cough", and "the "intend to cease smoking". "Intend to stop smoking" happened earlier "I got coughing". So, I think that the by perfect progressive must be used in the main clause tense(I had been intending to end smoking) and the past simple in the time clause tense(before I got this bad cough).
I had been intending to terminate smoking(main clause tense) even earlier I got this bad cough(time clause tense).
a. would take been
b. had been
c. have been

PS. FounDit , forth with Dragonspeaker , I am lamentable 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, 4% X 25 = 4/100 10 25/100 = 100/100 = 100%.
For the 12th question, when I selected "have been", my score decreased by iv%. Nonetheless, when selecting 'had been', I scored 96%. That means some other question wrong.

You're right on #12 - the most "grammatically right" is the past perfect (plus the simple by), when looked at logically (sorting out WHEN each matter happened).
The one you lot had wrong is #22 - physical proposal.
Have a wait at the northward-gram graph hither.
It's probably but a phrase you've never come across - it's mostly a business concern or legal-type thought.
con•crete adj.
1. constituting an actual affair or instance; real; perceptible; substantial: physical proof.
2. pertaining to or concerned with realities or actual instances rather than abstractions; particular equally opposed to general: concrete proposals.
Still, I'd say 96 is a
goodscore. Well done.

Take a look at the n-gram graph here.
It'southward probably simply a phrase you've never come up across - it's mostly a business or legal-type idea.

I wondered when I read the score of 94 if two points had been taken off for the "builder/concrete/proposal" question. But since at that place was no mention of that, I assumed either respond 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 past A cooperator are right except 22c: "physical proposal".
Non that "concrete architect" per se is wrong, it'south but that they wanted the states to choose the most frequent lexical collocation, which is "concrete proposal".
Just 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 have been followed past a comma: "Mind you, the Goggle box is so old...." rather than "Mind you the Television receiver set is so one-time...".

i. All of the answers cooperator posted are correct, except question 22: the correct answer (according to the britishcouncil.org website) is: physical proposal (this is what I answered and I got 100%).
It should exist noted, though, that few questions in that test have more than ane correct answer. For case, some other give-and-take for "complete" can besides be "full" if used every bit an adjective (the question in the test refers to its verb form, thus "terminate" is accepted every bit the correct selection).
2. Question 9: (a) is the right choice (long, blackness, leather) considering the order of adjectives follows the ranking conventions of standard English: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, cloth, purpose. Thus, long comes before blackness, and leather is the last in rank.
3. Question 12: the by perfect tense is the only grammatically correct pick. Choice c (take 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).
