Agreement error?

Please help me understand why the response in the following example isn't "J'en pense la plus grande bien!" Is "plus grand bien" a colloquial and unmodifiable phrase? Merci !

Que penses-tu de cette exposition ? - J'en pense le plus grand bien !

Depuis - imperfect tense

Je fumais depuis..... is used above. The Imperfect with Depuis. In another lesson it said that only the present tense is used with depuis. Which is correct?

Sentence structure"Il y a au moins trois labels de qualité que peuvent recevoir les communes françaises."

I was reading a short piece and came across this sentence. I understand everything up until peuvent recevoir. I know what it's suppose to mean however why after que, we use peuvent instead of saying

Il y a au moins trois labels de qualité que les communes français peuvent recevoir .

Quels vêtements porte-t-ilIn inversion with il, elle, and on, do you still need the additional -t- in the middle (e.g. porte-t-il) when the verb already ends with a "t" sound? Could it just be porte-il in this case? Or do you say the "t" twice when it is followed by an "e" (which I can't hear on the recording)?

See above translation for the sentence about disappointed re: toilet paper.

Is the first example (Examples and Resources) an error or a weird idiom?
