Ce sont vs Elles sontJ'utilise ces tomates. ________ les dernières

I believe that "Elles sont" should be used here because we are talking about specific tomatoes. Yet "Ce sont" is correct here - why?

Uses of C'estHello, I am a bit confused about the standalone adject + c'est constructions. I thought that to use c'est it needed to proceed a noun within the sentence. Is what I'm seeing here a special case? Or do I have it completely mixed up (which wouldn't come as a great shock to me lol)?

there's a contradiction between lessonsThere's a contradiction between this lesson and J'habite à + [ville] = I live in + [city] in French As there explains that you always use à for cities. I quote "In French, to say which city you live in, you use: J'habite à + the city". Which one is right?

ExcitéesI thought this word suggested sexual arousal and would not be appropriate in this situation. Is there an alternative word that would normally be used instead?
