In the first section, I wrote square instead of round, and barbecue instead of heater
11-13, string, shade, spoon. 14-17, snow peas -attract birds, lettuce - colorful, cherry tomatoes - easiest to grow, sunflower - grows rapidly
18-20, bird, night, roses
21-25 - agree, I wrote BACCB(the last one maybe even A)
26-30 I wrote BABCA
In 4th section completely agree, I missed the last one which was the season, I wrote quality

Did you take general reading? (1 section - Australian band in Sydney, the list of websites; 2nd - about travel expenses, applying for job; 3rd - building bridges)
I completely missed the part about snow peas attracting birds, it does make sense though. I took the academic reading (Invention of the motor bus, Dairy stores and Pterosaurs)

Academic Reading.
Passage 1
was about the invention of the motor bus. 1-7 were headings. I remember picking i, iii, iv, v, viii, x.
8-13 were Yes, No, or Not given. I remember answering NG, Y, NG, Y, N, Y. Can't recall the statements exactly.
Passage 2
was about the dairy stores in New Zealand. 14-17 were questions about which paragraph contained certain statements (an example of fictional mentions of the dairy store - paragraph 1, types of stores that competed with the dairy and types of stores the dairy put out of business - paragraph 3 and 4, also another statement that I can't remember).
18-19, which statements were mentioned in the passage? Dairy stores exist everywhere in one shape or form, their popularity and success have gone up and down. 20-21 reasons why people open diary stores? Require comparatively low resources to open, the elderly ensure demand. (There was another statement about how they employ both men and women that might've been the answer instead of the first one). 22-26 fill in the blanks ( Wage, university, history, cleaning, specialities)
Passage 3 was about Pterosaurs. Started with choosing a missing word ( Fish, reptiles, strength, hind legs, hair). There were also 4 Yes or no questions that I can't recall. Then there were questions about choosing the correct statement (the Pteroid bone increased the span of the front wing, it enabled the Pterosaur to glide rather than fly, and another one about how the scientist couldn't build a model with a functioning head for steering). Finally there was a question about what "it" referred to in the passage (the scientist's ambition to build robotic models)

Does anyone remember it differently??
