would 'j'ai achete pour ma mere un weekend' be correct ? ( cant do the accents )

Regarding this sentence:

Marie, quelle idée fantastique tu as eue

Why does the past participle eue agree here? Is it the case of the subordinate clause with que?

Should the sentence be:

Marie, quelle idée fantastique QUE tu as eue

In the phrase, '"ce qui m'a enfin permis de m'ouvrir" why isn't there an "e" at the end of "permis", since the direct object, "m", is a woman?

In the context of this lesson, 'remind [someone] of [someone or something]' means 'put unwittingly [someone] in mind of the subject's resemblance to [someone else or something else]'. The meaning in French, although the grammatical construction is different from English in terms of direct and indirect objects, is the same as this.

But what about the alternative English usage 'remind of' meaning 'cause consciously [someone] to remember to give attention to [a person or thing]'. Often this is expressed in a sentence such as "Jack reminded me that my uncle is coming next week", but could be shortened to "Jack reminded me of [or about] my uncle's visit".

How would the last sentence be translated?

Shouldn't it be deux plus deux égalE quatre?

Why does "important" and "magnifique" come before the nouns here? -

Usually the adjectives go after the noun.

1. Dominé par une magnifique abbaye construite en l’honneur de Saint-Michel.

2. C’est un important centre religieux.

The lesson re the above clearly states that “If it/ he/ she is followed by a determinant you will use c’est.” Why then, after taking Lucie’s temperature does the doctor say,  “ Elle est un peu élevée” and when taking her blood pressure, “Elle est un peu basse”? I can understand why he would say “Elle est élevée” or “Elle est basse” but surely the given answer contradicts the rule.
