Sorry to disagree with you, sp.watson, but this native speaker can �t imagine himself ever saying, "Are you answering my question before going to bed?". If I were impatient about it, I would say, "Are you going to answer my question before going to bed?". As I said, I agree with libertybelle about that.
In fact, we frequently use "going to" in impatient situations.

Hello! I also agree with yanogator about 1 exercise "Are you going...before going" not "go" but the answer is "b"... I checked the key answer, that �s why I asked you about these exercises so it must be a printing error...
3.I found this exercise about the right preposition after "apologize someone":
I must apologize to her____ late
a)having been
b)for being
c)on being
d)at being I choose "b" but the right answer is "c", ON....
4. The right answer is "b":to have been drilling....I choose "a"...It must be again a printing error...
5. Same problem...I choose "a" but the answer is "b"... Thank you!

B and C are both correct. I �m sure that for being late is American English and
on being late is more widely used in the UK
