I got one wrong. The one I got wrong was a defective question, since none of the provided answers were true.

One of the questions I got wrong I agree with because I should have known better but I was watching a old TV series while doing the test. The other three I would disagree with the makers of the test. They didn't know what the heck they were talking about.
