British English usage: This final C1 assessment integrates inversion, clefting, advanced tense/aspect, unreal time, future-in-the-past and sophisticated reporting patterns in formal and high-level British English.

Cambridge Grammar reference: The assessment is functional: correct answers depend on register, information focus, temporal viewpoint, remoteness and reporting pattern—not just morphology.
