In the end, I almost failed the quiz questions because I wrote the 17th after the word, which was a mistake, and I missed a word from the list. I filled it in and misspelled a letter. On the other hand, two questions were substituted (compared to the video).
However, I also saw many interesting, instructive and inspiring videos.
