It needs work. One shouldn't have to go to special trouble to find the directions. There are errors in some of the questions.
I recommend that you provide the reader with directions without forcing him to figure out how to get them while the clock is running.
What is the point of a reading comprehension test with nothing to read?
Have somebody review each test before you post it.
(The phrase "was chatted about" is not AE.)

Thanks for the review. As far as the correctness goes, trust us that we hire the best people in USA to review all questions. They are PhDs and masters from the top schools, e.g. Ivy League.
It is hard to have everyone agree on the same answers still
This particular passage you are referring to was written by Mark Twain.
I would like to emphasise that CafeLingoes trains a lot of language abilities. It covers materials for both native and non-native speakers. For native speakers, we focus more on scholastic writings. This sentence is relatively simple compared to those found in Aristotle and Plato. For native speakers, our aim is not that they can speak English, but rather, we hope that they can understand if not generate scholarly writings.
Our experience is that many college students of course have no trouble reading CNN articles, have trouble understanding documents in history, philosophy, literature and the like...
