sava2019, я надеюсь, что здесь есть учителя, которые объяснят, где у меня неправильно.
Я думаю в 13 ответ А, так как она ее знает, они ходят в один класс.Тоже думала про used to go, но его здесь нет...
Спасибо Вам огромное!

[Yety]

Кроме 9 - shouldn't have done,
в 10 тоже - should have stayed
11 - are probably right

16 - согласен с was thinking
25 - возможно might've got (раз спрашивает Did you get the job?, а он пока просто не в курсе, какое они приняли решение.)

В тесте подрихтовал бы только исправленный вариант sava2019:
11 - С

***

объяснят, где у меня неправильно.

Спрашивайте, конечно, что непонятно.)

[sava2019]

Yety, можете объяснить, почему

14. had discovered
I went to the phone and had discovered that I had left my purse in the car...
там же вроде простое перечисление действий, разве с паст перфектом не получается что "обнаружил что забыл кошелек" до того как пошел к телефону?

16. was thinking
A: What do you think I should have done?
B: I don’t know. I was thinking of several things.
Я считал, что was thinking - это когда заранее думал о чем-то или планировал. Здесь же сиюминутный ответ.

[Yety]

I went to the phone and had discovered that I had left my purse in the car...

Этого не говорил - был согласен с вашим вариантом.)

16. was thinking
A: What do you think I should have done?
B: I don’t know. I was thinking of several things.
Я считал, что was thinking - это когда заранее думал о чем-то или планировал. Здесь же сиюминутный ответ.

Думал, что-то в этом роде...

2 distancing in questions, requests, etc: I wondered if...
We can make questions, requests and offers less direct (and so more polite) by using past tenses. (For more about 'distancing' of this kind, ► 311.) Common formulae are I wondered, I thought, I hoped, did you want. (► 311.1.)
I wondered if you were free this evening.
I thought you might like some flowers.
Did you want cream with your coffee, sir?
Past progressive forms (I was thinking/wondering/hoping, etc) make sentences even less direct. (► 311.2)
I was thinking about that idea of yours.
I was hoping we could have dinner together.

Просто I think как-то не натягивалось...

[Victoria]

А в тесте в 1 пункте почему would нельзя?

[Yety]

1. “Do you fancy going to the cinema this evening?” I wish I _____ but I’ve got to work.”
A) should B) would C) could

почему would нельзя?

Есть ответ на этот вопрос в ветке про грамматическое раздвоение личности.)

Поняла, спасибо!:)
