This test may have a higher chance of receiving a reward. Nominated for:

1. Educational explanations. 👍 Explanations cover why the correct answers are correct and why the wrong answers are wrong (when appropriate). E.g.: #q30, #q28, #q5

2. Educational pre-poll messages. 👍 This test uses pre-poll messages well to achieve an educational effect. E.g.: #q1, #q3, #q15

3. Step-by-step approach to teaching. 👍 E.g.: #q1, #q5, #q12

the blend of educational content and humor was great ! the only problem was the TIME . it was impossible to read long questions in 15 seconds . let alone anwsering questions which had descriptions behind them .

There should be more time for users to read and answer the questions. Some of the questions are very long, and as this quiz is aimed at learners of English as a second/additional language, they will likely need more time to read and comprehend.

There is an issue with one question. It asks "Which of these spellings is British?" and offers "programme" and "program" as options. The quiz gives "programme" as the correct answer. However, it should be noted that in British English, both are used. "Program" is used in British English primarily in computing contexts.

Thank you all for the comments. This was the first quiz I created on here, so it’s a learning process for me as well. Check back again for more, hopefully soon :)
