33/40 (7.5)

there’s something wrong with marking
I answered 33/40, but it counted 30/40
e.g. bridge (number 2)

5

ALSO,THE CODE BEHIND THE PAGE IS WRONG BECAUSE NUMBER 2 IS “BRIDGE”. ANSWER SHOWS THAT TOO BUT THE FINAL RESULT DIDN’T COUNT IT.

  • Rule: If the noun is plural, add an “s” to the end of your answer.
  • Explanation: Grammar mistakes are penalized, so you should be careful to listen for singular and plural nouns. If you write a singular noun when the speaker said a plural noun, your answer will be incorrect.
  • Tip: If there is no indefinite article (a/an) before the answer, it’s probably a plural noun.
  • Strategy: When in doubt, add the “s”.

Its a rule for safety you can put (s) if you havent heard clearly word and it wold we consider correct if thr answer key have (s) or not
