I got 7 out of 8, but I still don't agree with their sequence. The
question was poorly thought out.

I see that something got lost in translation there: I don't agree
with the sequence of words in question 3 - I thought galloped should
have been last rather than raced, but that the question was poorly
thought out.

That was an interesting one. Were children supposed to know if
"raced" was faster than "galloped". Is there a list somewhere?

Yes, that's the one I got wrong. Perhaps they did back then but I remember
it not.
