... des rôles intéressants

Jai choisit cette expression mais elle n'était pas juste. Votre ordinateur a remplacé 'des' avec 'les'. Peut-être que vous puissiez regarder ça ?

liaison with j'étais allé

I noticed that in your audio of "j'étais allé", there is not a liaison. Is it optional?

"their noses and their heads" why le nez but leur tête and why singularPendant les vacances de Pâques, j'ai emmené mes enfants à Brest, en Bretagne, afin qu'ils puissent visiter Océanopolis qui est l'un des plus grands aquariums de France. Depuis les trente dernières années, des millions de visiteurs en ont franchi les portes. Mes enfants étaient déjà fascinés par toutes les créatures marines qu'ils avaient vues jusque-là pendant la visite, mais quand nous sommes entrés dans le pavillon "Bretagne". ils n'en ont pas cru leurs yeux ! Dans cette section du parc, il y avait environ quarante aquariums remplis d'animaux marins qui vivent le long des côtes bretonnes : des homards bleus bretons, des hippocampes et des méduses "Aurélie" translucides. À un moment donné, les enfants avaient le nez collé contre la vitre d'un aquarium, quand soudain, un énorme requin scie est passé au-dessus de leur tête ! Quelle expérience inoubliable !

"...se maria..."Elle se maria cette année-là

Is this an error? Or is "se maria" an actual phrase. I thought it should be "se marie".

I'm also wondering why it is not "s'est mariée". That's the phrase I would have used.

revolution not rotation:)

I am not an astronomer but I believe the correct term for describing earth's movement around the sun is not "rotation" but "revolution." I think it would be correct to say,

"...en fait, la révolution de la Terre autour du Soleil dure quelques heures de plus chaque année."

NE EXPLETIF

The following answer is given as correct: 'J'ai eu peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard'.

My question is: given its 'negative ' sentiment shouldn't the answer include the 'ne expletif'?

j'ai adoré mon hamburger

This sounds like an opinion to me. I thought it should be in the imparfait. Could someone kindly shed light on this for me?
