Quels bonbons tu as choisis

Quel est le temps pour le verbe choisir dans cette question ? Je pense qu'il faut passe composé, parce que on utilise avoir, mais le participe passé de choisir est choisi.  Merci!

Lui confusion

Hi, Ive just done the question 'What does Je lui parle mean? to which I answered I am speaking to him, and I am speaking to her (I ticked both boxes.) My answer was marked  nearly right but my understanding is that lui can refer to both him or her. Can you explain why it was marked this way please.

HiI did not choose "Leila is finishing the soup very quickly" because, to me, that expression is in the Present tense.

With these two answers it seems you are teaching that Passé Simple is past tense and present tense. I am confused.

Why should I have chosen, Leila is finishing...?
