Please reconsider level of execise. I would suggest rather it is a B2 level because it is considerably easier than the other C1 execises 

Est-elle la ami du Lucas sont leur petite ami (girlfriend)?

Then why would he take her to a romantic film?

Instead of "Benjamin veut être bilingue un jour" I tried "Benjamin a envie d'être bilingue un jour."
This sounds correct to me, but it was not offered as altenative.

What do you think?

In the exercise about the new green car with the brown leather seats, one alternate answer was ‘Ils sont fait en cuir.’ The best answer was ‘Il sont en cuir’. Present tense.   Was the alternate answer in passe compose? If so, wouldn’t that be ‘ils ont fait en cuir?’  

Why is Marseille est la deuxième plus grande ville de France not written as Marseille est la deuxième la plus grande ville de France? Shouldn't it be la plus grande

The theory says these are interchangeable yet I used malgré and was marked wrong

Hi, 

I was wondering why "je veux" is considered impolite in most contexts, but "voulez-vous" isn't, as they're both forms of "vouloir". Is it only impolite to use the verb "vouloir" when talking about yourself? So would, for example, "il veut" or "ils veulent" be polite?

Thanks in advance!

Dans cette phrase vous avez utilisé le ne explétif sans qu'il y ait une négation dans la phrase précédente:  "Du coup, la loi de 1965 a permis aux femmes mariées d'ouvrir un compte bancaire sans que leur mari n'intervienne, les émancipant ainsi financièrement de leur conjoint."

Je croyais  qu'il fallait une négation avant "sans que" pour ajouter le ne explétif.

Faise des achets

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?
