Why is this avoir? I appreciate the verb is followed by a noun but its no different to getting off a plane, in real terms. I seem to be finding this matter unusually difficult
I would suggest that this exercise be set at a higher level. I don't believe this is pegged right for an A1 learner. Perhaps A2 would be better.
I did not find this text very useful. Too much language that we are unlikely to encounter in everyday French.
Why do we have Office de Tourisme, amateur de vin, Miroir d'Eau, amateurs d'histoire, protégé de France ( why not de La France?)
but, Cité du Vin, de l'histoire du vin, Fontaine des 3 Grâces?
La réponse à la question deux est "Il y a au moins 1 200 variétés de fromage en France". Mais, en 1962, Charles de Gaulle a dit "Comment voulez-vous gouverner un pays qui a deux cent quarante-six variétés de fromage?".
Pourriez-vous expliquer l'écart entre 246 variétés de fromage et 1 200 variétés de fromage, s'il vous plaît? A moins que la France n'ait développé 954 nouvelles variétés de fromages depuis 1962, la différence réside, vraisemblablement, dans la définition de "variété".
The bot marked "lave-linge" as incorrect, but according to the Larousse dictionary or good old Google exists as well.
How would I say, " Reading is my favorite pass-time, it relaxes me"? Where "it" refers to reading.
Why isn't there a "ne" with "avant qu'ils soient dévalisés"?

I thought and had the same meaning and are both passive voice constructions. This comes up in a question asking for an active voice sentence to be turned into a passive. I used which sounds better to me than . So, are reflexive constructions passive voice or not? I was taught, like 50 years ago, that they were. C'est un peu tatillon, mais j'ai envie de savoir.
