Meilleure not Mieux, its and adjective

Clearly the nice and better is being used for the boyfriends (subject) and not is the verb, then why on earth are we using mieux here? It seems to be an error, feel free to correct me though.

Fusils, explanation

French for "rifle" is "fusil", while "shotgun" is "fusil de chasse". This suggests the core French word "fusil" means something less specific than "rifle", which in English refers to the spiraled "rifling" along the inside of the barrel, which a shotgun lacks.

However, the Italian word "fusile" can mean either "rifle" or "shotgun", yet also spiral-shaped pasta, despite a shotgun lacking this.

Can anyone explain, s'il vous plait ?

"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 !

Passé Composée use here

Why is it "Mes fils ont toujours adoré cette tradition" ? If the tradition is ongoing with no start and finish should not the 'imparfait' be used here?
