Why is there Mieux not Meilleur ?

I know one is adverb and other is abjective but I think adjective should work here too

I'm confused as to why "we improved quickly" is in the passé composé rather than the imparfait. Surely the fact that they were quickly improving is an ongoing action in the past rather than something that happened "just like that" at one particular moment? (Having said that, reading the whole passage through again it clearly "feels" like it should be in the passé composé - I'm just not sure why....)

Underground galleries is translated as galleries souterraines 

- a check of the french spelling shows only one 'l' in galerie.

...the text option “où, comme chaque année, nous avons fêté Noël.” has the audio “où nous avons fêté Noël.”

Please help me "amis fumeurs", is that a compound noun like le service client, etc, help me explain it. Can I use "des amis qui fument (friends who smoke), somehow, it's similar to smoker friends, right?

I think you should also allow "j'encourage"  for "I support" ? (For sentence: je soutiens le club de ma ville).

Does French follow the same linking verb + adjective convention as in English? Linking verbs, which include "to feel", link the subject and the predicate so are followed by adjectives, not adverbs. In the kwiz, there was "Je me sens mieux." I feel better. Of course, "feel" can be a transitive verb also as in "feel an object," so a person can feel (it) better, in which case "better" is an adverb. 

I am confused by this example: 

"I haven't left France for three years:" "Je n'ai pas quitté la France depuis trois ans."

The lesson says "we use PC because the negation indicates the action wasn't done during the entirety of that past period. BUT PC is used to express actions which were completed or finished in the past. 

This example shows it WAS NOT completed, so why PC and not imparfait??

Thank you.
