I only got 42% also! Oh, well, the quiz originates in England. What do they know.

I gave up after Q6. Arcane rules.
But give me several paragraphs and I'll have 'em straightened out in no time LOL.

Must have missed that one... Unless you mean "A boy named Sue?"

Don't feel bad (er . . . badly ). The quiz was poorly constructed.

My deepest apologies for the errors, well picked up by some. My
inadequate excuse: the quiz was composed in a rush and while in pain,
shortly after getting out of hospital. Perhaps some will have found
distinguishing the valid criticisms from the invalid ones an interesting
exercise in itself, but sorry once again even so. N. Gwynne

The test has little to do with good grammar

Not too well, did I do neither.

Has nothing to do with constructing proper sentences. More to do with how much you retained from seventh grade grammar
