29. begins --> beginning
37. into --> in
I think intelligence is not wrong, if you change intelligence to intelligent, it will have another meaning.

29. The begins of the modern chemistry laboratory go back to the workrooms of medieval lchemists. (ETS 1989-01 (Question 29))

if you correct this sentence by changing "begins->begining". I realize that "go back" should change "goes back" because of subject "begining".
Please, how to correct a question as follows: (Answer C)

Nope. intelligence is correct.

intelligence means secret information, whereas intelligent means smart, good at doing something.
