The word "wish" makes it so that you must use the subjunctive form of the verb. It usually looks like the simple past. It should be "I wish I were".

I think you skipped question 25. B) is the right answer, isn't it?
In question 21, if he can't believe Tom took the money, I guess Tom's behaviour must have been unquestionable up to then. -
