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

Very interesting. I pretty much agree with all the choices marked as correct.
But I have some commments:
--In #iv, the words should be "First" and "2d", not "Firstly" and "Secondly". But "finally," is the correct option.
--In #nine, in my opinion the choice "long, black, leather coats"--though better than the other two choices--isn't really good. Information technology ought to exist "long blackness 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 have to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Mind you"--I would prefer "Nonetheless--but "Even so" that wasn't ane of the choices, and "Mind you" is better than the other two.
--And in #22, "physical proposal" seems a better matched pair than "concrete builder" in virtually contexts. In the absence of a context for the sentence, "concrete architect" is an acceptable answer.

#4 Firstly and secondly are commonly used in British English.
I agree with FounDit for #12 I prefer "have been", information technology'due south how near British people would employ that phrase.
#thirteen Mind you lot is the phrase that an ordinary British person would use.
#22 is a question of clan it is not about forming an bodily pairing builder and concrete become together in the same way staff of life and bakery or bat and cricketer do.
Retrieve the British Council is trying to teach people to speak English as it is used in Britain today, on behalf of the British Government, some of its usages won't lucifer American English.

The ones I saw were #12 and #22.
In #12, I could meet circumstances in which all three choices could be the "best selection".
Personally, I'd apply "has been" or "was" in most circumstances.
In #22, "concrete proposal" is a common phrase. "Concrete architect" isn't.
A builder may use concrete occasionally, but there'due south no such chore as "concrete builder".
Yes, I'd commonly use "mind you".
Heed y'all, it is a piffling "primitive"
, in that the verb "mind" meaning "pay attention" is not now used intransitively; AND imperatives don't nowadays have that course with the 'person' subsequently the verb. "Mind you lot" = "(You) accept notice!" = "merely I'chiliad mentioning and then that you lot tin can take notice"

My "native speech" is AmE, but I lived in England for 4 years and have many British friends, then I'm very familiar with BrE. My first wife grew upwards in Gateshead and subsequently in Banbury, then I know both Geordie and Thames Valley speech communication--and then much so that when I saw the movie "Baton Eliot" [2000]--set mostly in Tyneside and total of Geordie accents--in the theater hither in Illinois, I was the just person in the audition who understood all of what was beingness said.
I know, for case, most "heed you"--which is the best pick of the 3 put frontwards in #xiii. It's a well-known BrE phrase, and is not unknown in AmE. Of the three choices given, it'southward the one I would choose.
But, if ane of the choices for #13 were "However", that is the i I would pick. It's perfectly good BrE and AmE.
I have seen both American and British usage guides that prefer "offset" and "2d" to "firstly" and "secondly". Almost usage guides agree, though, that the "-ly" forms are acceptable, and more formal.

Gateshead to Banbury - couldn't exist much unlike, dialectically, and stay in England!
Like FounDit, I'thou curious how 25 questions can give a score of
94%.
That ways one question wrong and 1 "half-right".
About of the questions (existence multiple choice) tin can't be 'half-right'.

Hello Everyone!
Thank yous all very much indeed,
But, do you not think we must have a comma after "mind you"?
At that place is no comma in the original question question. So, I excluded the 'a' and 'c' since both must take a following comma if they initiated a phrase.
Anne: Oh! I watched the new Boob tube show concluding dark.
Jo: Was it any good?
Anne: Yes. Mind you lot the Tv is then one-time I could see very piddling.
I read Guide for Mixed Tense Exercises:
Quote:
Time word: Before:
Fourth dimension clause tense: Simple present, Simple by
Primary clause tense: Simple time to come
Before Karen leaves for work, she will roller-skate around her firm iii times.
Fourth dimension word: Before
Time clause tense: unproblematic past
Main clause tense: Simple past or past perfect
Before Karen left for work, she (had) roller-skated around her house three times.
Then, in no #12, the speaker is talking virtually two actions, "I got cough", and "the "intend to finish smoking". "Intend to cease smoking" happened before "I got coughing". And then, I retrieve that the by perfect progressive must be used in the principal clause tense(I had been intending to stop smoking) and the by simple in the fourth dimension clause tense(before I got this bad cough).
I had been intending to stop smoking(main clause tense) even before I got this bad coughing(fourth dimension clause tense).
a. would have been
b. had been
c. take 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 can give a score of four%.
So, iv% X 25 = 4/100 X 25/100 = 100/100 = 100%.
For the 12th question, when I selected "have been", my score decreased by 4%. Still, when selecting 'had been', I scored 96%. That means another question wrong.

Yous're right on #12 - the most "grammatically correct" is the past perfect (plus the elementary past), when looked at logically (sorting out WHEN each thing happened).
The i you had wrong is #22 - physical proposal.
Accept a look at the n-gram graph here.
It's probably just a phrase you've never come across - it's by and large a business or legal-type idea.
con•crete adj.
one. constituting an actual affair or instance; real; perceptible; substantial: physical proof.
2. pertaining to or concerned with realities or actual instances rather than abstractions; item every bit opposed to full general: concrete proposals.
Still, I'd say 96 is a
goodscore. Well done.

Take a wait at the north-gram graph here.
It'due south probably simply a phrase yous've never come across - information technology's more often than not a business or legal-blazon thought.
con•crete adj.
1. constituting an bodily thing or instance; existent; perceptible; substantial: physical proof.
two. pertaining to or concerned with realities or bodily instances rather than abstractions; particular as opposed to general: physical proposals.
Still, I'd say 96 is a
goodscore. Well washed.
I wondered when I read the score of 94 if two points had been taken off for the "builder/concrete/proposal" question. But since there was no mention of that, I causeless either answer would be given credit, since "architect" and either "concrete" or "proposal" fits. That was really a poor question. Merely 96 is an fantabulous score. Well washed.

Yes, exactly: all the answers by A cooperator are right except 22c: "concrete proposal".
Not that "physical architect" per se is wrong, it's just that they wanted usa to choose the most frequent lexical collocation, which is "physical proposal".
But stick to all the answers given by A cooperator - except for 22 - and you'll score 100%!

By the manner, the phrase "Heed y'all" in #13 should accept been followed past a comma: "Mind yous, the TV set is and then quondam...." rather than "Mind y'all the Television set is so old...".

1. All of the answers cooperator posted are correct, except question 22: the correct answer (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 reply. For example, another give-and-take for "consummate" can likewise be "full" if used equally an adjective (the question in the examination refers to its verb form, thus "finish" is accepted every bit the right choice).
2. Question 9: (a) is the right option (long, black, leather) considering the order of adjectives follows the ranking conventions of standard English: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose. Thus, long comes earlier black, and leather is the last in rank.
three. Question 12: the past perfect tense is the only grammatically correct option. Selection c (have been) is grammatically incorrect (the clause "earlier I got this bad cough" is in the by tense, and the "intention" precedes the emergence of the coughing).
