I think you have the A1 and B1 verb lists switched for this topic.  There are 28 verbs on the A1 list, including some less common ones like hervir, invertir, negar, and tremblar.  

But then there are only 15 basic verbs on the B1 list.

Should the test questions note that the answer should be for Spain vs Central/South America? 

I think = creo = I create. How would someone know which I mean?

Hello! Unless I am missing something, I was provided a question in the drop-down where I had to pick the correct conjugation of tener with the imperfect subj. It seems to be that both tuviera and tuvieses should be accepted, however only "tuviera" was. If tuvieses is not accepted, it should not be listed in the drop down. Perhaps you can fix this? Gracias.

I asked about the carne because I see it's being used as card in this passage, carne de conducir for example.

I am a bit frustrated with this lesson.  I guess my question is this: with my limited (A1) knowledge of Spanish, how am I supposed to know "that sometimes the feminine and masculine forms are the same" when repeatedly the test gives adjectives I do not (yet) know in Spanish?  

For example, placid.  I do not KNOW how to say placid in Spanish, thus how can I know if I should use the feminine adjective form or simply add mente?  The assumption of adjective knowledge doesn't work unless, as is sometimes done in the test, you GIVE the adjective form in the test question; example: Los coches son rápidos: van rápidamente.   In this example test question it is easy to understand rápidos (masculine form) will change to the feminine because I can SEE rápidos!  The frustrates me to get wrong when it seems to be testing me more on knowing a large range of adjectives in Spanish more than the specific assignment of adding the "ly" form! I don't see my scores getting better based on the lesson given.
