Faites or faisez

I was marked wrong on this one. Vous faisez la queue seems correct. Not understanding why it would be vous faites la queue? Thank you.

En tant que vs comme

Hello there

Just wondering if I can use "comme" in the phrase "Et bien sûr, comme Wonder Woman" and if comme and en tat que are interchangeable.

Sincerely

Una
