Not bad
But you may want to think twice about pursuing a career as a copy editor. You got 5/10 correct.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Got bad/badly wrong, I guessed on the were one, and no matter how many times I run it through my head, using me at the end of that sentance sounds wrong.

I missed 4 and 7, surprisingly.

The rest seemed pretty obvious, actually. I seemed to remember "people lie" for 4 and was reading 7 as a sentence in the present tense.

How... why

I always get affect/effect right. I didn't know about "He acts like he ___" or "I go home and ____ on my bed"

They did ask some rather obscure points of grammar in the test. I'd say anyone who got a 7/10 or higher did okay, 8/10 did good, 9/10 did great, and 10/10 people were either anal about it in school or just have a sharp memory for exceptions to the rules.
