Differences in the "correct" final paragraph compared to answers given as the "best answer"

I don't want to be pedantic but the sentence "A few months ago, I worked from my house for three weeks. ." the best answer was "Il y a quelques mois, j'ai travaillé de chez moi pendant trois semaines." the final para however reads "Il y a quelques mois, j'ai fait du télétravail pendant trois semaines." (A few months ago, I was teleworking for three weeks.) I realise there are many ways of saying the same thing but this was not given as the best option and seems to be different to the text being translated. It might be time for me to have a break!

Ensuite vs puis

Why can't i use ensuite instead of puis in this sentence?

To feel vs. smell

What would be the difference between “I smell nothing” and I feel nothing”. I thought to feel in this case might require a reflexive construction?

"Ma pièce préférée"

I haven't come across this before, and put "ma salle préférée". Is pièce used for all rooms of a house, if just talking about a room? Or is "salle" acceptable?
