1	2	3	4	5
1	V	V	V	V	V	= Two Correct
2	V	V	V	V	A	= Three Correct
3	A	V	A	V	A	= Three Correct
4	V	A	V	A	V	= Two Correct
5	A	V	A	A	A	= Two Correct
6	V	V	A	V	A	= Two Correct

You got one extra right the second time you answered,
so the fifth answer must be 'Animal'
Now, redraw the table and recalculate the ammount of
correct answers, taking in to account that the fifth
answer must be 'A', so you don't need the fifth
question column in the table anymore. You also don't
need the first set of answers row anymore, since
the first four answers for the first and second goes
are the same, i.e; V V V V.

5th Answer=Animal

	1	2	3	4
2	V	V	V	V	=Two Correct
3	A	V	A	V	=Two Correct
4	V	A	V	A	=Two Correct
5	A	V	A	A	=One Correct
6	V	V	A	V	=One Correct

Now, look at the second and sixth goes. The second go
had one more correct than the sixth, and the only answer
that was different was the third answer, so the third
answer must be 'Vegetable'. Now, we redraw and recalculate
the table again, now missing out the third column of each go,
also remember that we can now ignore the second go/row,
since all of the other answers were the same in the sixth go:

3rd Answer=Vegetable

	1	2	4
3	A	V	V	=Two correct
4	V	A	A	=One correct
5	A	V	A	=One correct
6	V	V	V	=One correct

Look at the third and sixth goes. The third go had one more
correct than the sixth go, and the only difference was the
first answer, so the first answer can only be 'Animal'.
Redrawing and recalculating the table we can now disregard
the 1st Answer and the 6th go:

1st Answer=Animal

	2	4
3	V	V	One Correct
4	A	A	One Correct
5	V	A	None Correct

Looking at the 5th go where all answers were incorrect;
the correct answers must be the opposites (A,V)

Also, going back to the previous table; Look at the
third and fifth goes. The third go had one more
correct than the fifth go, and the only difference was the
fourth answer, so the fourth answer must be 'Vegetable'.
So, if the third go had only one answer incorrect, and we
now know that the first and fourth answer of the third go
are correct, then it's the other answer
(i.e. the second answer 'Vegetable') that must be wrong.
So if the second answer is not 'Vegetable' then it must
be 'Animal'.

So, we can conclude that the seventh go must be:
Animal, Animal, Vegetable, Vegetable, Animal.

...in order to get all five answers correct.

It is worth noting that, if the correct answers were in
fact different, you could still use the same first six
goes to solve it. If you don't use these same first six
sets of answers, in any order, then it would be
impossible, without pure luck, to solve the puzzle.
