Votre comportement __________ toute l'enquête.I wrote "Votre comportement avez compromis" and it was marked wrong, the correct answer given was "a compromis". Why is the answer 2nd person singular when the subject is 2nd person plural? What am I forgetting?

What is the difference here: son propre défaut vs. son défaut ?Chacun a son propre défaut. I think that the above locution has the same sense as «Chacun a son défaut.»; however it was marked incorrect on the quiz. Please advise the difference.

"vous nous avez été recommandés" shouldn't it be "... été recommandé" assuming a single person (or shop) is being addressed?

Present or past?This lesson is titled Using Le Passé Composé for immediate/near future actions but it is really on using the present tense to speak of near future actions, not Le Passé Composé. Or am I missing something?

3rd person plural possessive for a plural nounThere was a question on a recent quiz as follows: "Il faut qu'ils obtiennent leur permis de conduire," with English translation something like "They have to get their driving license." The quiz question was about the subjunctive of obtenir (which I got right), but I am just wondering about the use of leur rather than leurs. Translated strictly, I suppose leur is correct, but in both English and French I would have thought "their driving licenses = leurs permis de conduire" would be more accurate, since they each need to have their own license, not a single license among them? Thank you very much in advance. Kind regards.
