Je me demande pourquoi "incomparables" s'accorde avec "légèreté et confort" plutôt qu'avec "une matière". N'est-ce pas la matière qui est incomparable, plutôt que les qualités de la matière ?
Hmm, après l'avoir écrit, je pense que je peux le voir dans les deux sens.... mais, n'empêche, n'est-ce pas une possibilité que l'accord pourrait être avec la matière quand-même ?
Instead of using être in 'to be clowns', can you use instead "s'agisser" (in the subjunctive present)?
I thought a phrase starting with " En grandissant.." would trigger the imperfect. However in this particular writing exercise of B1: "A Childhood Passion" the sentences that follows that aforementioned "gérondif" are in the simple past.

I would love to go back and to see my mistakes at the end of a Writing challenge. It soes not seem possible. AI thinks I can do this (via Test History) but their directions seem incorrect. When I go to my Test History I can only see the choice to redo the challenge. Am I correct here or am I missing something?
I have been doing these exercises weekly for five years and I just realized the true purpose of the dots under the play button.

I chose mille because isn't it supposed to be milliers de? (forgive me because there's no place to include my screen shot). Isn't this a typo?

pourquoi pas "je n'y manquerais pas pour rien au monde"? does manquer not work here ? i thought this was a standard phrase to use.
In the sentence, ”In any case, we'd better plan for the worst.”, I translated the first part by "Quoi qu'il arrive", which was not accepted. Is this expression correct or incorrect in this context?
Although I found this exercise challenging (I gave myself 49 out of 70) keep them coming as I think I learn a lot, especially by examining the various alternatives.
Could you use "se renseigner sur" instead of "découvrir", or would there be some nuance between those in this context? i.e. "J'ai adoré me renseigner sur l'histoire d'Anne de Bretagne..."
