A couple of them made me think, but I got 100%.

Congrats on retaking it.  :P

In all seriousness though, good job.  I wonder at the really high average when it seems like a large minority of internet communications are riddled with errors.  Are people educated but lazy or is the test self-selective?

94% on the first one. I also reversed i.e and e.g.

The second one is harder (I got 85%) but mostly it is just more annoying since it doesn't tell you which answers were incorrect!
