I don't think so. It's just my thing. Truthfully, I'm a little embarrassed that I missed two. One was careless. . .its vs it's. . .answered impulsively pre-coffee. My bad. The other one was a little more challenging: Hanged vs Hung. I answered that either was okay. According to the answer key, in references to death by hanging (which this was in context), hanged is always used. Hung is used in all other instances. I'm not sure if this is a grammar rule, or proprietary. I answered based on whether hanged or hung was the correct past tense of hang without considering context. . .ALWAYS context!
