Hello Torsten
There was a question posted for this test:
http://www.english-test.net/esl/learn/english/grammar/ai092/esl-test.php
However, that test-taker's question has now been deleted, so my comment is in this thread instead.

In the test above, the target words in questions 7, 8 and 10 are generally written as one word rather than as two separate words. In other words, these words are normally written this way:
7. sandcastles
8. sandman
10. sandbags

In the test, however, they appear as separate words.
Just wanted to let you know.
