"Elle fait de la danse." means: She is making up a dance, She takes dance lessons, She's dancing

Bonjour, I put that "she's dancing" and can't work out why it was marked wrong, the answer is "she takes dance lessons" please could you explain?

kind regards

Gloria

Ça coûte VS Il coûte

Combien est-ce que ça coûte? VS Combien est-ce qu'il coûte?

Are both correct for "How much does it cost?" Or is there any difference?

Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un stylo vs Qu'est-ce que c'est un styloThe examples give both the options for un stylo but the Kwiz I just did only accepts Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un gendarme, and Qu'est-ce que c'est un gendarme is marked wrong. Is there something different between un gendarme and un stylo that mandates using Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'?

Using le for les escargots instead of les

i was wondering why for the sentence

j’aime les escargots. It becomes je le aime instead of je les aime.
