The only one I would question is #12
12.
Choose the best give-and-take or phrase to consummate the sentence.
I ... intending to stop 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 y'all gave upwards 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 you scored 94, however. With 25 questions, each should be worth 4 points each, so yous should take scored a 96.

Very interesting. I pretty much concur with all the choices marked equally correct.
Only I take some commments:
--In #4, the words should exist "First" and "2nd", not "Firstly" and "Secondly". But "finally," is the correct choice.
--In #ix, in my opinion the choice "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, different FounDit, I prefer "had been intending..." to "have been intending...". To me, "had been intending" does non mean you ceased intending to stop smoking.
--In #13, I have to say I wouldn't used the phrase "Mind you"--I would adopt "However--merely "Yet" that wasn't one of the choices, and "Listen yous" is better than the other two.
--And in #22, "concrete proposal" seems a better matched pair than "concrete architect" in virtually contexts. In the absence of a context for the judgement, "concrete architect" is an acceptable answer.

--And in #22, "physical proposal" seems a better matched pair than "physical builder" in most contexts. In the absence of a context for the sentence, "physical builder" 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's how about British people would apply that phrase.
#13 Heed 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 physical go together in the same fashion breadstuff and baker or bat and cricketer do.
Remember the British Council is trying to teach people to speak English as it is used in U.k. today, on behalf of the British Regime, some of its usages won't lucifer American English language.

The ones I saw were #12 and #22.
In #12, I could see circumstances in which all three choices could be the "best choice".
Personally, I'd utilise "has been" or "was" in near circumstances.
In #22, "concrete proposal" is a common phrase. "Concrete builder" isn't.
A builder may use concrete occasionally, simply there's no such job equally "concrete builder".
Yes, I'd ordinarily employ "mind y'all".
Mind y'all, information technology is a little "archaic"
, in that the verb "heed" pregnant "pay attention" is non now used intransitively; AND imperatives don't nowadays accept that class with the 'person' later on the verb. "Mind y'all" = "(You) accept notice!" = "but I'grand mentioning so that you can take notice"

My "native oral communication" is AmE, simply I lived in England for 4 years and accept many British friends, so I'm very familiar with BrE. My first wife grew up in Gateshead and subsequently in Banbury, then I know both Geordie and Thames Valley speech communication--so much so that when I saw the movie "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 audience who understood all of what was being said.
I know, for example, about "listen you"--which is the best choice of the iii put forward in #13. Information technology'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 one of the choices for #xiii 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 "second" to "firstly" and "secondly". Near 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 tin can give a score of
94%.
That means one question wrong and ane "half-correct".
About of the questions (being multiple choice) can't exist 'half-right'.

Hi Everyone!
Thanks all very much indeed,
Simply, do you not retrieve we must have a comma later "mind you"?
There 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 show last night.
Jo: Was it any skilful?
Anne: Yes. Mind you the TV set is so old I could run across very little.
I read Guide for Mixed Tense Exercises:
Quote:
Time word: Before:
Time clause tense: Simple present, Unproblematic past
Main clause tense: Unproblematic future
Before Karen leaves for work, she will roller-skate effectually her business firm three times.
Fourth dimension word: Earlier
Fourth dimension clause tense: simple by
Main clause tense: Simple past or by perfect
Before Karen left for work, she (had) roller-skated around her firm three times.
And then, in no #12, the speaker is talking about ii actions, "I got coughing", and "the "intend to stop smoking". "Intend to stop smoking" happened before "I got cough". And then, I call back that the past perfect progressive must be used in the main clause tense(I had been intending to terminate smoking) and the past simple in the fourth dimension clause tense(earlier I got this bad cough).
I had been intending to stop smoking(main clause tense) fifty-fifty earlier 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 can give a score of iv%.
So, iv% X 25 = 4/100 Ten 25/100 = 100/100 = 100%.
For the twelfth question, when I selected "accept been", my score decreased by four%. Even so, when selecting 'had been', I scored 96%. That means another question incorrect.

You lot're right on #12 - the most "grammatically correct" is the by perfect (plus the simple past), when looked at logically (sorting out WHEN each thing happened).
The i you had wrong is #22 - concrete proposal.
Take a await at the n-gram graph here.
It'southward probably just a phrase you've never come beyond - information technology'due south by and large a business or legal-blazon idea.
con•crete adj.
1. constituting an actual thing or instance; real; perceptible; substantial: concrete proof.
2. pertaining to or concerned with realities or actual instances rather than abstractions; detail as opposed to general: physical proposals.
Withal, I'd say 96 is a
goodscore. Well done.

Notwithstanding, I'd say 96 is a
goodscore. Well done.
I wondered when I read the score of 94 if ii points had been taken off for the "builder/concrete/proposal" question. Only since in that location 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. Simply 96 is an splendid score. Well done.

Yeah, exactly: all the answers by A cooperator are right except 22c: "physical proposal".
Non that "concrete builder" per se is wrong, it's but that they wanted us to choose the about frequent lexical collocation, which is "physical 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 lot" in #13 should have been followed by a comma: "Mind you, the Tv set set is and then old...." rather than "Listen y'all the TV fix is so quondam...".

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%).
Information technology should be noted, though, that few questions in that examination have more than than 1 correct answer. For example, another discussion for "complete" can too exist "full" if used as an describing word (the question in the exam refers to its verb grade, thus "finish" is accepted as the right option).
2. Question nine: (a) is the correct option (long, black, leather) considering the order of adjectives follows the ranking conventions of standard English language: opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose. Thus, long comes earlier black, and leather is the terminal in rank.
three. Question 12: the by perfect tense is the only grammatically right choice. Option 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 coughing).
