This is from a 11+ practice paper and this publisher's name is not on this forum's shop so i am not sure if i am allowed to mention name. I kept on thinking that might be i am doing something wrong but as everyone is getting same answer, i am sure its a mistake.
thanks for everyones help

Real world mayhem resolving so have had another look - agree 12 would do ... not sure where they have got 4 from!
