    More than one of the options to the 'complete the sentence' questions would fit. For example, a meeting could be entirely deliberate, entirely suspicious, or entirely fortuitous.

    Yes, it's often a question in quizzes like this of guessing from the available answers which one is the mostly likely, rather than the only, possible fit.

    #20 and #25, in the right context, can have all of these vocabulary words used correctly in the sentences.

    There are several multiple "correct" answers, in that in some of these questions more than one of the distractors grammatically fits. Also, some of them I got mainly because they were familiar word groups, commonly used in phrase form. 30/30. But if I'm #57 in the 30/30 group, how hard could this really be?

    I absolutely call foul on #5. I'm giving myself credit for it. 30/30.

    Yeah, I nearly went with impartial, but then guessed right.

    And the weather in April? What sort of loaded question is that if one is not in whatever country the writer is in? Bah.

    18/30. Some of them were good guesses.

    30 out of 30 for me too. But that's because the questions are easy. Also some of the answers could be used.

    My kind of test, but I did have to restart it once because clearly their meeting wasn't suspicious enough. And she could entirely solve the problem in a whimsical manner (but I guessed correctly), rather like me with this test.

    If you got two wrong, how did you manage to score 29/30?
