Thank you for taking the effort to submit your test for the contest.
Unfortunately, this test will not be able to receive a prize:

1.Missing explanations. All explanations simply repeat the correct answer. E.g.#q1, #q2, #q3, #q5, #q6, #q7 etc.

Thank you. It is a language quiz - I didn't think much explanation is needed; you have to choose the right word or phrase in this one. And "explanation" is often in the question itself anyway.

Cute Camel This Quiz was fully re-assessed by an independent Judge.

The original verdict was incorrect. Your Quiz is no longer disqualified. However, we cannot guarantee that it will receive a prize.

Hi! Thanks for the quiz, I love loanwords - although most of these are quite uncommon in everyday speech ;)
However, there is a mistake in question #2:
"Forbidden" is absolutely not a loan from German "verboten", as they are both independent evolutions of a Proto-Germanic compound that has reflexes in nearly all Germanic languages. You can check it here: https://www.etymonline.com/word/forbid#etymonline_v_11776.

Cheers!

Hi. Thank you for your comment! "Verboten" is a loanword though, that's what was meant.

Sharp Chameleon 2020-yil, 25-May

Ah ok, it makes sense. Sorry then! :)
