    19/20 - I would have got them all right too if my stoopid rabbit hadn't tried to jump on the keyboard, I tried to tell him that taciturn meant quiet but he'd already pressed one of the other answers. Back to school for Gizmo me thinks.

    No one likes a show-off!!! That's because you had no distractions at school (boys!!)

    i think even if there were boys at our school (i went to the same one as KT) they wouldn't have been a distraction - the boys at our twin school were not overly attractive...

    Oh dear as a teacher in the making should perhaps have done better than 17/20 ? Didn't know that the word meant quiet, and spelling has never been my strong point ️?️ (runs and hides) However must have been an English teacher that made up the test as some of the select a word questions are not even similar with a Scottish accent ? Anyway I shall away and drown my sorrows in a cup of tea....

    Full marks, but as an English teacher I'd have had to hang my head in shame at any less! ?

    That said, I wasn't impressed with the "food for thought" question. That's both metaphor and alliteration, so it was unfair to put both those options in the list. Did anyone choose alliteration? Did it say yes to that answer too, or mark you wrong?
