I’ve been studying French church architecture this week and had thought I understood that the saint themself is written with no hyphen, but if their name is used for a road, church, town etc, it becomes hyphenated. For example, Saint Denis for the person and Saint-Denis for the basilica or commune. So I was surprised in this exercise to see the archangel spelt Saint-Michel.
I also noticed that sauvé and sauvée are both accepted for Orléans - presume either is ok here?
I used 'du coup' instead of 'donc' but it wasn't given as an option.

For the adjective for beautiful,masc beau,and fem belle,given the guidance in the study notes the adverb is formed from the masc which ends in a vowel ( beau) ,so I assume it's beaucoup. Any more common adjectives which don't add -ment to the masculine adjective?
