What is India called in French?

I thought that the inclusion of ni … ni in this answer meant ‘neither Sam nor Paul’ not just ‘Sam and Paul’. Am I mistaken?

"In the first half of the week" the acceptable translation is Dans (or durant or pendant) la première moitié though above it says "Durant".  However, "In the second half of the week", "Dans" and "moitié are both marked as incorrect with "moitié" is replaced by "partie".  Could you please explain the differences as I don't understand them.

I’m confused by the instruction given for how to use this phrase.  Both present and imparfait are defined as “used to” in the examples.  what am I missing?  Of course for the very first question about this topic I bombed. And I don’t know why. Is there any additional instruction on this topic?

Alexandre is a proper noun, so shortening it to "qu'Alexandre" is optional and not necessary. Yet I got marked wrong for writing "n'a embrassé que Alexandre"

1. My dictionary suggested "roman d'amour" for romance novel, but the accepted answers only included "roman à l'eau de rose," "roman sentimental," etc. Is there a difference?

2. I used "réussite" instead of "succès" just because it seemed to be repeated too often, but it seems like it wasn't an accepted answers some of the time; is there a difference between the two?

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.

"It is green" still gets "il est vert" marked wrong, despite the fact that it appears to refer to a specific item (as opposed to using "c'est vert," the preferred answer, which would indicate something more general--despite no indication of such in the sentence). Tired of having my score set back (I had to use up most of my free quizzes for the month to make up for this). Please fix. Would also be nice to have the "report it" button on the page that people seem to say exists but which I have never seen.

Can you use 'tandis que' instead of 'pendant que'?
