Distinction between "celebre" "connu" etc "fameuse".

I noted in another quiz that famous people (at Cannes) were either "célèbré" or "connu". Would "fameuse" not work for them? Thanks!

The concept is elusive: in the future, you will have done something in the past?Maybe you could describe a situation to which this would apply? I recall the play, "La guerre de Troies n'aura pas lieu," but that was a triumph of imagination. When would you work this into everyday conversation?

Don't these two sentences mean the same thing?"Nous avons DAVANTAGE d'enfants que lui" and "Nous avons PLUS D'enfants que lui" I put 'davantage' and it was marked wrong.

difficile de choisir

The Collins dictionary provides the expression 'difficile à fair' and in the randomly generated examples of 'difficile' gives difficile d'atteindre; difficile à réaliser. difficile à modéliser. Is there a rule as to when 'difficile' is followed by 'de' OR 'à' and does this apply to other adjectives such as in the expression 'dur de choisir' which is given as an alternative answer in the exercise.

I'm sure there is a lesson on this but my mind seems to have gone blank regarding it. Thanks in advance.

Why not use elle instead of lui in the above sentence Il lui envoie deux millieurs de roses. Same for Il lui envoie deux mille rose? Are these typos?
