The climate and relief of France’s territory.

Can’t there be two correct answers to this statement about France’s territory depending on whether you are referring to ‘the territory’ or the territories ‘climate and relief’?

Ah ça ! Je ne te le fais pas dire !

I understand the literal meaning of this phrase but not really the sense of what she's saying. Agreeing? disagreeing?

Use of de with plural nouns and adjectives"de branches cassées" is used rather than "des branches cassées". The lesson states that "de" is correct when the adjective is before the noun, however I have noted recently on several occasions in exercises "de" has been used when the adjective is after the noun. Am I missing something?

Devoir imperfect or perfect

I'm very confused with devoir and which tense to use now, as your lesson said devoir in imperfect meant "supposed to do" and perfect meant "had to do", yet you use the imperfect to say "had to do" here ? Can you please explain and also explain what that lesson actually means as it doesn't seem to be relevant?

How does this work when using future anterieur

I understand the lesson as it is taught above.

In the lesson for future antérieur (Conjugate vouloir/pouvoir/devoir in the future perfect in French (Le Futur Antérieur)) there are sentences like "Nous aurons voulu le revoir". Why not Nous le aurons voulu revoir?

Is there another rule applicable when using future antérieur?

Spelling - hanoukia or hanoukkia?

In the exercise "Hanoucca dans ma famille (Vocabulaire)", it is spelled "hanoukkia" with two k's. Are both spellings correct, or just one? Thank you!
