Sorry to hear about your downloading problem, sher1978. I just checked the file, and it worked fine for me. There is another one on page 4. If you are still experiencing problems, PM the moderator or BB.

Good luck!

I doubt about question 7. The answer should be C. Not B. There is "ONLY one of the..." and singular form of the verb shall be used after "that". If there were "ONE of the factors", then plural after "that" would be right. Please, change it in the answer sheet or prove opposite.
