Marta I think, there are some mistakes in the key, for example: - In the sentences 3,4,6,7 and 9; I think it should be "was/were" instead of "is/are". I mean...

- In the sentence 11, I think it should be "is being" instead of "is". I mean... "It is being thought that drugs..." because of the tense of the verb, is present continuous, no present simple. Besides, you do it in the sentence number 19.
- In the sentence 17, I think it would be this way: "It has been thought that the..." (as number 2). "The sportsmen have been thought to be arriving today".
Finally, when the second part of the sentence there is a "would + verb" I think the sentences 13 and 22 should be like 16. I mean, with past perfect, for example in 22: "Their team was expected to have won".
In fact, there are...I'm afraid the document has been modified (not by me) since the last time I had access to it...I'll try to check the mistakes and see...
