15 out of 15. As an English speaker from the U.S., I found these very easy.

I am from Russia and I have been living in America for around 3 years. I missed some questions in C1 and only answered one question correctly in the C2 section. But I have learned very much and I am happy with these results :) Thank you Brian

To a native English speaker these are all easy, but it is interesting how many idioms that we unthinkingly use, that we don't even realize are idioms, that deviate from the literal word meanings, and that would be confusing to a foreign language speaker who is trying to learn English.

The history of each phrase is even more interesting then just knowing what they mean.

I'm from Norway. I got all the 15 phrases correct. That's because we have the same type of expressions in Norwegian. Such fun.

For 'play up' I was a little taken aback - from a British perspective 'play up' is when something is not working properly or an old injury is annoying you. 'My laptop is playing up again', or, after doing too much gardening, 'My back is playing up again'.
