«Sylvie parle à son amie.» Is Sylvie's friend a man or a woman?

Above is the referenced quiz question, to which I answered 'you cannot say'. However, the results indicate correct answer is 'a woman'. This is incorrect. Since "ami" start with a voul, you must use "son" whether the subject is masculine or feminine, therefor, you cannot tell is Sylvie's friend is a man or a woman.

To crush an army

I was wondering if anéantir could be used in this context as a possible substitute for écraser. Thanks.

Missing a word for “almost”?

In the line “The second page seemed almost identical to the previous one” the answers do not contain a word for “almost”, such as “presque”. Is this intentional, or should the answers be corrected?

For reference, the answers are: (i) La seconde page avait l'air identique à la précédente, (ii) La deuxième page avait l'air identique à la précédente, (iii) La deuxième image paraissait identique à la précédente, (iv) La deuxième page semblait identique à la précédente.

Thanks, Brian

Further clarification sought

Seeking clarification on Maartens answer to Randa. The link provided, indicated that 'toujours' could be in either tense. I felt the imparfait was indicated as the action "loving" is ongoing and not finished. Would 'love' to read your response/s.

Hi, just to let you know, there are three occasions in this exercise where there is “mille-sept-cent…” in the audio, but “dix-sept-cent…” in the text”.
