You should identify the question number and the specific typos for fairness.
Throughout the whole quiz, I encounter a lot of inconsistent formatting (such as having a full stop or a trailing whitespace instead of a question mark at the end of questions) and typos.
A trivial grammatical error can be found in the explanation of Q21, where in this context "Each" should have been followed by a singular noun.
Moreover, some questions are ambiguous in meaning. One example would be Q14, in which the word "overlooked" seems unbefitting. In general sense, "to overlook" means "to fail to notice something". With that in mind, the question actually asks the quiz takers which of the surmises is mandatory according to the rules (as in reality most examinees fail to notice it).
After all, nice and educative quiz. Just pay more attention to formatting next time because it gives the impression of your quiz being unprofessional. Good luck on the contest!
A friendly note: I missed the first round, and I'm now overwhelmed by regret.
However, you should be specific in the questions that you considered ambiguous because what may look ambiguous to you may not really be. For example, you failed to realise that the word overlooked also be to forgive, excuse or ignore. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/overlook. IELTS is a special test that requires candidates to write a minimum of 150 word in Task 1. Some candidates are sometimes worried is they would be penalised writing as much as 180 words or even above. So, this 'excess' is 'overlooked' (forgiven, excused or ignored).
Thank you for your review.
To be straightforward, I am emphasizing this question because I spent three times as much time on it as on other questions. I was reconstructing the message you were trying to convey, whether "ignore" or "fail to notice", and obviously I got it wrong that time.
Anyway, cheers!
