is quoi qui se passe instead of quoi qu'il arrive acceptable?

Something strange is going on today - it’s not working properly 

A kwiz I took marked "seize heures moins vingt" as incorrect (correct answer "quinze heures quarante").Am I to understand that you can't use "moins" constructions for >12 hours at all? In this lesson you only mention "moins le quart" being wrong.

'Mon frère qui habite en France.' I would assume it's wrong to use 'à qui' or 'auquel' in this context, but I don't know why? When is it most suitable to use 'qui'?

For future reference thoug... is this how I should ask if I  were in a deli for instance. Instead of saying "vous" I use "on" ..thus avoiding the   interpretation of "do YOU have" and correctly directing the question "do they (the cafe/deli) have?"... Seems a trivial point but I am  curious.

Hi, 

I was wondering for for using il or c'est in this sentence. Que penses-tu de mon canape? ____ est tres joli. Since it is a specific item mon canape I would use il est? I was going to use c'est tres cause when you have the verb etre your suppose to use c'est but, in this sentence to me it seems specific so I would use il est in this case. Am i correct?

this is a question in the kwiziq

Thanks

Nicole

I find that in many of the lessons, the synonyms are often not taken as an alternative. For example "des fois" was not taken as correct for "sometimes". Another example, "cueillir" was marked wrong for "picking", and an alternative "ramasser" was suggested as a correct answer. I'd suggest to expand the choices of synonyms. 

Vous êtes un amateur de vin

 Vous êtes un amoureux du vin

Bonsoir

Pourquoi dans phrase 1 de vin

et dans phrase 2 du vin

Merci en avance

In the sentence "tout le monde aide avec les corvées"

1. why is the phase singular if means plurel as in everyone 
2. why is corvées feminine? I would have thought corvés as it is a mix of people (potentially)

And...

In the sentence "Julien s'occupe du tri des déchets"

1. why “tri” and not “trie”, I couldn’t find a “tri” in any tenses?

Merci beaucoup
