Les yeux vs mes yeux

In the sentence "my eyes are blue..." I wrote 'Les yeux sont bleus (I forgot to add the j'ai), but it was corrected to "Mes yeux sont bleus." I thought you did not use possessives with body parts?

Ça vs C'est vs Il estI have read the lessons on all these. In a quiz, asking me to translate "It's getting on my nerves," I chose "Il est" because "it's" must be referring to something specific. We don't know what, but no one says generally "It's getting on my nerves" without "it's" referring to something specific. The correct answer is given as "Ça". Even if "it's" was referring to something general, why would it be "Ça" instead of "C'est"?

Different meaning between the verbs, approcher and rapprocherThe dictionary meaning shows both of these verbs as meaning "to move closer together." Is it correct that approcher applies to moving closer between 2 physical locations, and rapprocher applies to personal relationships with other people, as is the case in this exercise?

tôt vs en avance

There is nothing in the question, or in the Quick Lesson, that indicates that the phrase " tôt" is incorrect. There is no context, so BOTH/EITHER answer(s) must be correct. Annoying.
