I got 10 of 11 correct. So the test announces "You got 10 correct answers, for a
score of: 90%." Apparently arithmetic is not part of the test.

I missed the single file question, but doesn't that vary from state to
state?

All of the states I've checked allow two abreast in a lane in the
absence of motor vehicle traffic at the very least. ISTR that some
require single file as close to the right soulder as practical in some
circumstances, but I have not run across that as a statewide rule
anywhere yet.

It does. Here in Pennsylvania 2 abreast is OK, in New Jersey it's single
file.

I take it back. NJ does allow two-abreast as long as traffic is not
impeded. But PA law is different:  "Persons riding pedalcycles upon a
roadway shall not ride more than two abreast except on paths or parts of
roadways set aside for the exclusive use of pedalcycles."

Ah, yes, that's the phrasing I remember. Fair enough law.
