They don't have wine any more

In the quiz it gave this translation of the English : 'Ils n'ont plus de vin" but I would have translated this as 'they don't have any more wine', which is quite different in meaning in English. Would my version be incorrect? If so how would I say that in French? Merci!

Translation of the adjective, evil, as in an evil doll.Is "une poupée méchante" not evil enough ? It wasn't accepted as a possibility.

I prefer to listen to speakers with expression. It helps to understand the meaning (although I realize this wasn't a dictée)

You were polite yesterday is not a one time action, it's a state of being, so to say “tu as été polis hier" is incorrect.

BOÎTE'Elsa est sortie rapidement de la boîte.'

Isn't 'une boîte' a nightclub? Surely it would make more sense for Elsa to be leaving a nightclub than a box?

Ne...que vs sauf

Hi. Could 'sauf' have been used in "...mais il n'y avait rien d'autre à faire qu'à téléphoner au garage et attendre"?

Also, could 'rien de plus' be used instead of 'rien d'autre' or do they not mean the same thing?
