Thank you for taking the effort to submit your test for the contest.
Unfortunately, this test will not be able to receive a prize:
Too many missing explanations. More than 10 questions have the same explanation. E.g.
#q1,#q2,#q4,#q5 etc

I disagree with your explanation. This is grammar questions. Of course, some questions need the same explanations because they are the same category of grammar classes. Grammar rules can not be changed and it's fixed explanation. Please reconsider my quiz qualification. Thank you.

The original verdict was confirmed to be correct.

Choose the correct action verb.
dive -> this is obviously a verb and also the correct answer. But let me remark:
cup -> "I cupped my hands." https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cup
purse -> "I purse my lips." https://www.dictionary.com/browse/purse

Same thing here:
Choose the correct action verb.
dog -> "He has been dogging me for at least an hour!" https://www.dictionary.com/browse/dog
rabbit
hopped

Or here:
Choose the correct action verb.
look
coat -> "I coated myself with paint by accident." https://www.dictionary.com/browse/coat
glass

Pamela tasted the cake she baked.
(correct) tasted
 baked
Explanation: Non-action verbs indicate state, sense, desire, possession, or opinion.
Correction: I'd say that "tasted" is an action-verb in this case.
Whereas this website lists it under the non-action-verbs (https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/style-and-usage/action-vs-non-action-words.html), this is meant for cases like: "The cake tasted like chocolate."
But what Pamela is doing here is actively tested the cakes quality: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/taste

This quiz is focused on beginner and elementary students( grade 1 and grade 2). when you search these words in the dictionary, it will tell you different classes of grammar such as nouns, verb, adj. If you want to introduce nouns, just focus on it and don't confuse the students. This is how to approach them.
good questions but the instruction is not very clear. It seems confusing. You should put the instruction to all questions. Good job. Good luck
