I don't like including the "no se srera" option at the same level as
the other options. The first sentence is about birds, the second
(incomplete) sentence is a metalinguistic comment about the first
sentence, it doesn't really make sense to present them as two
sentences together. So I would either not include a "no se srera"
option or present it in some other way, e.g.:
"lo _cipnrkuku_ cu _punji_ le ri _sodva_ le zdani be lo _drata_ cipni"
A. cipnrkuku
B. punji
C. sodva
D. drata
E. _no se srera_ (written for example in some other font)
(Very tricky question. It took me a while to realize that the answer
wasn't in fact E. If there wasn't a "no se srera" option it would have
been easier. Not sure if we really want to include this kind of
thing.)

I like the idea behind this question, but I don't like that it's a
translation. With this kind of question we would need different tests
for English speakers, for French speakers, for Japanese speakers, and
so on. I know in practice most people taking the test will be English
speakers, but I would prefer not to include translation questions and
to make the test universal from the get go. We could for example
change it to:
mi makcu nanmu gi'e na vimcu lo krefu lo xedja ze'a lo jeftu be li
so'o .i ja'e bo
A. mi ponse lo xe'akre
B. mi se xe'akre
C. lo xe'akre po mi
D. mi lo xe'akre cu ponse
E. mi du xe'akre

Listening comprehension, essay writing, speaking...
