You may note that, although the quiz is supposed to be about New Zealand, questions 8 & 9 have nothing to do with New Zealand. I queried this with them and they agreed these were errors but the actually correct answers would be accepted.
These are my suggested answers but what do I know? Any disagreements/other answers welcomed, please post below.
