Hi,
I am an English language trainer and I have just taken the English test #21246: Good or well ?.
I believe there's a mistake in sentence no. 5: "Have you ever taken this medicine before?" It says that the answer should be "Well! I don't remember!". In my opinion here "Well" is not an adverb describing how you do something; however, it is an interjection, which usually has no grammatical relationship within a sentence. For example: it's often found at the beginning of a sentence, expressing doubt or hesitation.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Inge, The Netherlands

Hello,
Well was described as an interjection in the lesson just before the exercise.
