Hi Devendra Kumar, hope you are well. Thank you for the help with these questions. Despite the fact that I took notes, some questions are not straight forward and that is why I google the question. I noticed that the questions and answers every time you try the quiz are not the same. I am wondering if you have all different ones that they have.
Thank you again, you helped me so much.
Best Regards,
Sultan
