may not have graded correctly?

I am pretty certain that I chose 3 nouns that were plural ending in s or x but after grading it showed that I only chose 2 of the 3 (ending in s or x). ?

pas and du tout in English

You say: "Note that pas and du tout CAN be separated, quite like in English." Alas, the examples do not differ:

Elle n'est pas du tout stupide!
She's not stupid at all!

Elle n'est pas stupide du tout!
She's not stupid at all!

(Suggestion, not question) I wander if there would be some exercises of this reading comprehension?It is a good material and I hope it would be counted in my "exercise record", so I can come back to this page to see my improvement throughout the time. When it is listed in my "exercise record", I will feel rewarded.
