Task Description
The video quiz has 8 multiple choice questions testing deep comprehension skills (i.e. if students understand the meaning of what's said).
Because of the accent, I would classify it as most suited for Upper-Intermediate (B2) and Advanced (C1) students, but it may as well work at Intermediate (B2) level, too.
