This was my first time coming across the inverted questions.. 'puis je'

I read the lesson that that's more formal and 'est-ce que' is used more colloquially. I thought you could always replace est-ce que with just the interogative + subject + verb so I put 'Que je peux faire...' which was marked wrong. Is this wrong with these inverted questions?

And also in the lesson it mentioned "statement order"'questions being a possibility. What are these?

About the adjective "meilleure"...

I thought "meilleure" meant "best" rather than "better," which is the meaning it's given in the chart. In the sample sentence "Le meilleur élève..." is said to mean "The best pupil..." So again, why in the chart is it said to mean better rather than best, as in the sentence? Thanks in advance.

What vs WhoIn my quiz question it began "Qu'est-ce que tu ....." and I answered "What .." but it showed the correct answer to begin with "Who .." I can't see how that is correct.

How is the gender relevant? The lesson talks about feminine adjectives, but these adjectives can also be masculine, like bon and gentil. Why does it talk about them as feminine?
