Dear Sir
Thank you for your remarks
Actually the specifications Mr. Sayed Siam has kindly made available on this forum do not contain any reference to questions on the reading texts

As for your remark about NONE , the following may explain it

In current English, none is always treated as a plural when it refers to persons. If we want to have the verb singular we must now use no one or nobody as the subject. The modern usage is seen in no one thinks he is clever, but none except his family know how stupid he really is. In speaking of things, none may still be treated as a singular, but it is more often treated as a plural.

(A Dictionary of Contemporary American Usage by Bergen Evans and Cornelia Evans, Page 321)

The pronoun none can be followed either by singular verb and singular pronouns, or by plural ones. Either is acceptable, although the plural tends to be more common.
(The Oxford Guide to English Usage, Page 184)

There's a lot of disagreement about this "none". "None" can be either singular or plural, depending on the meaning you intend and its context in the sentence. "None of the pie is left" is clearly singular. When "none" refers to a plural noun, a plural verb is more common

((Common Errors in English Usage by Paul Brians – Page 142))

None as the plural of no one is commonly found with a plural verb
((The Cambridge Guide to English Usage, Page 375)

use a singular verb where possible but if the notion of plurality is present a plural verb has been optional since the OE period and in some circumstances is desirable. The type None of them have finished their essays is better than the clumsy . . . has finished his or her essay

(The New Fowler's Modern English Usage, By R.W. Burchfield, Page 526)
