The given answer is a monté la colline.
Firstly, no one climbs a hill. Perhaps a mountain but not a hill. One goes up a hill. Further, there is no indication she is taking anything up a hill. She is simply going up a hill by herself. This should use être, should it not?
Cette exercise et l’exercice de B2 cette semaine (‘Se réconcilier avec un ami’) ce sont très interessantes avec la vocabulaire et des phrases très utiles ! Leurs sujets rendent le travail difficile de les faire amusant. Bon travail ! Merci !

Hello! Does anyone know a way to restart the brainmap? I had Kwiziq premium in 2020 and was able to nearly complete the brainmap for French but then I stopped. Now it's been five years. I repurchased premium but would prefer a blank slate since I have forgotten a lot. Does anyone know the answer?
The Cambridge dictionary of English defines "ecology" as: the relationship of living things to their environment and to each other, or the scientific study of this.

Edit: also: "[the NGO] which works to protect the marine environment and species" is translated as "[l’ONG] qui travaille à la protection de l’environnement et des espèces marines". I couldn’t see how to apply one adjective to two nouns of different gender without radically altering the sentence structure, but the French answer seems to apply it only to the species?
