I don’t think the "grand" in the final sentence sounded quite right, more like gros. It was fine in the recording of the whole extract but not in the individual exercise. Or is it my ears?! (Une nouvelle que nous avions accueillie avec grand soulagement !)
In this exercise, which asked to conjugate verbs in Plus-que-parfait, I wrote the following sentence: Marc lui avait souri et Gilles avait deviné tout de suite que Marc avait capturé son âme! My « avait capturé » was marked down and corrected to be « avaient capturé ». I cannot understand why a 3rd person plural conjugation is being used here instead of singular since the sentence talks about one person, Marc, who caught/captured Gilles’s soul.
Does the phrase …..(aller) mieux que…” introduce the subjunctive mood?
I thought that the inclusion of ni … ni in this answer meant ‘neither Sam nor Paul’ not just ‘Sam and Paul’. Am I mistaken?
Peut-on dire aussi "piste"? Quelle est la différence entre les deux?
There should have been included in the vocabulary list additional words including

On the Lawless French Causative Construction with Objects and Agreement page (https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/faire-causative-2/) there is a cartoon of some kids washing a car with the caption 'Je les fais laver la voiture'. Why is it 'les' and not 'leur'?
Why do you use translations in the full text playback that are not the translations said to be the best when providing feedback on the student-submitted translations? Are they perhaps the ones used most by native speakers.
