Thank you so much for your comments . To be honest, I didn't expect my test to have the chance to be nominated for the reward.

Good quiz my dear....I enjoyed it...

Just felt, maybe the time could be increased to 20secs, instead of 15 seconds...

Good explanations.. Weldone.

Hi Jolly! Thank you so much for your comment! I took your quiz, it was awesome. Even though I graduated from school decades ago, it was still exciting to answer your questions. Everything was great, except for the fact that some of the answers could be shortened down. I mean due to the time limit, it took me a bit longer to read and comprehend the answer before I could click on it. Who knows, maybe schoolkids are more skilled than me at it.))

Thank you so much

Good but here some notes:
1- Time should be more than 20 seconds and no more than 30.
2- In this question, 27. It was a warm summer evening. The starts __________ bright and I could hear cicada trill., 'the plus verb (the starts)' , which is ungrammatical and misleading.
3- The explanation of the following question is incorrect. First, this is a fact not repeated action for example I always get up early which is a repeated action and second 'mollusk' is the doer of the action or affected? The doer is an octopus. See English Grammar in Use by Murphy and  A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language written by Randolph Quirk.
Question 2. Being a predator, an octopus typically _______ on mollusks.
is feeding, feeds fed
The word "typically" signals that it is a repeated action and doer of the action "mollusk" is in the singular form.
Good luck

Hi there! Thank you so much for your comments. When it comes to question 27, it was a misspelled word, instead of "starts" it was supposed to be "stars" I'm sorry I didn't notice it. Your comment 3 about octopus: "octopus" here is the doer of the action and the adverb "typically" here implies actions carried out habitually. Regarding the time length, yes, I need to change it to 20-25 seconds. Anyways, thank you, once again! Your comments were valuable!
