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

Very interesting. I pretty much concur with all the choices marked as right.
Only I have some commments:
--In #4, the words should exist "First" and "Second", non "Firstly" and "Secondly". But "finally," is the correct choice.
--In #9, in my opinion the pick "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 prefer "had been intending..." to "accept been intending...". To me, "had been intending" does not hateful yous ceased intending to end smoking.
--In #13, I have to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Mind you"--I would prefer "Yet--but "However" that wasn't one of the choices, and "Mind you" is ameliorate than the other two.
--And in #22, "physical proposal" seems a better matched pair than "concrete architect" in most contexts. In the absenteeism of a context for the sentence, "physical builder" is an acceptable answer.

Simply I accept some commments:
--In #four, the words should be "Beginning" and "Second", not "Firstly" and "Secondly". But "finally," is the correct option.
--In #ix, in my opinion the choice "long, black, leather coats"--though better than the other two choices--isn't really adept. It ought to be "long blackness leather coats" without the commas.
--In #12, dissimilar FounDit, I prefer "had been intending..." to "have been intending...". To me, "had been intending" does non hateful you lot ceased intending to cease smoking.
--In #thirteen, I have to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Heed y'all"--I would prefer "However--merely "However" that wasn't one of the choices, and "Mind you" is meliorate than the other two.
--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a better matched pair than "concrete builder" in most contexts. In the absenteeism of a context for the sentence, "physical architect" is an adequate reply.
#iv Firstly and secondly are commonly used in British English.
I agree with FounDit for #12 I prefer "have been", it's how most British people would utilize 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 aforementioned way staff of life and bakery or bat and cricketer do.
Remember the British Council is trying to teach people to speak English language equally information technology 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 "all-time choice".
Personally, I'd utilise "has been" or "was" in virtually circumstances.
In #22, "physical proposal" is a common phrase. "Concrete architect" isn't.
A builder may utilize physical occasionally, but there'south no such job as "concrete builder".
Yes, I'd commonly apply "mind you".
Mind you, it is a fiddling "archaic"
, in that the verb "listen" meaning "pay attention" is not at present used intransitively; AND imperatives don't present accept that form with the 'person' subsequently the verb. "Mind you" = "(You) take find!" = "but I'thousand mentioning so that you can accept observe"

My "native speech" is AmE, only I lived in England for 4 years and have many British friends, and so I'm very familiar with BrE. My showtime wife grew upwards in Gateshead and later in Banbury, so I know both Geordie and Thames Valley spoken language--and then much and then that when I saw the motion-picture show "Billy Eliot" [2000]--set mostly in Tyneside and full of Geordie accents--in the theater here in Illinois, I was the but person in the audience who understood all of what was being said.
I know, for example, nearly "heed you"--which is the best choice of the three put forward in #xiii. Information technology's a well-known BrE phrase, and is not unknown in AmE. Of the three choices given, information technology'south the one I would choose.
But, if one of the choices for #thirteen were "Withal", that is the ane I would pick. Information technology'southward perfectly skillful BrE and AmE.
I accept seen both American and British usage guides that adopt "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 exist much dissimilar, dialectically, and stay in England!
Like FounDit, I'k curious how 25 questions can requite a score of
94%.
That means ane question incorrect and one "half-right".
Most of the questions (being multiple choice) can't be 'one-half-right'.

Hi Everyone!
Thank you all very much indeed,
But, do you non think nosotros must accept a comma later on "mind you"?
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 show concluding nighttime.
Jo: Was it whatsoever good?
Anne: Yes. Mind you the Tv is so old I could meet very little.
I read Guide for Mixed Tense Exercises:
Quote:
Time word: Before:
Time clause tense: Simple present, Uncomplicated past
Main clause tense: Simple future
Before Karen leaves for piece of work, she volition roller-skate around her house three times.
Time give-and-take: Earlier
Time clause tense: uncomplicated past
Chief clause tense: Simple by or past perfect
Before Karen left for work, she (had) roller-skated around her business firm iii times.
Then, in no #12, the speaker is talking about two deportment, "I got cough", and "the "intend to stop smoking". "Intend to stop smoking" happened before "I got cough". 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 simple in the time clause tense(earlier I got this bad cough).
I had been intending to stop smoking(main 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 sorry I was wrong that I said I scored 94%. I scored 96%, really.
Yes, each question of the 25 questions tin can give a score of 4%.
And so, iv% X 25 = four/100 Ten 25/100 = 100/100 = 100%.
For the 12th question, when I selected "take been", my score decreased by 4%. However, when selecting 'had been', I scored 96%. That means another question incorrect.

You're right on #12 - the nigh "grammatically correct" is the past perfect (plus the simple by), when looked at logically (sorting out WHEN each thing happened).
The one you had incorrect is #22 - concrete proposal.
Take a look at the n-gram graph here.
Information technology's probably just a phrase you lot've never come up across - it's mostly a business or legal-type idea.
con•crete adj.
ane. constituting an bodily thing or instance; real; perceptible; substantial: concrete proof.
2. pertaining to or concerned with realities or actual instances rather than abstractions; particular as opposed to general: physical proposals.
Still, I'd say 96 is a
skillfulscore. Well washed.

I wondered when I read the score of 94 if two points had been taken off for the "builder/physical/proposal" question. But since at that place was no mention of that, I causeless either answer would be given credit, since "architect" and either "concrete" or "proposal" fits. That was actually a poor question. But 96 is an fantabulous score. Well done.

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

Past the way, the phrase "Heed yous" in #13 should take been followed by a comma: "Mind you, the Idiot box set is so erstwhile...." rather than "Mind you the Boob tube fix is so old...".

i. All of the answers cooperator posted are correct, except question 22: the right 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 have more than one correct answer. For case, another word for "complete" can too exist "full" if used as an describing word (the question in the test refers to its verb form, thus "end" is accustomed as the right pick).
2. Question 9: (a) is the correct choice (long, black, leather) because the order of adjectives follows the ranking conventions of standard English: stance, size, age, shape, color, origin, cloth, purpose. Thus, long comes before blackness, and leather is the final in rank.
3. Question 12: the by perfect tense is the only grammatically correct choice. Pick 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 cough).
