Why is this correct? (Qu'est-ce que c'est vs. quel est...)I asked about this previously and I am still confused.
I did a quiz before and it asked how you would ask "what is this" or something to that effect. And it didn't accept "quelle est..." as the correct answer.
The answer I had received is that quelle needs to be followed by a noun. However, previously, my French teachers would say questions like "Quelle est la date?", so I was very confused. Is that phrase incorrect?
Furthermore, I was doing another quiz and got this question:
Quel est le nom ___ restaurant ?
And I was confused why you could ask "what is the name of the restaurant" and use "quel est" and not "qu'est-ce que c'est" or "c'est quoi".
Basically, I'm not understanding if/when you can use "quel est.." or "quelle est..".
Thank you!

How come "en tout cas" is not an acceptable translation for "in any case"? To me, they mean the same thing but perhaps there is a difference in connotation?
Are the words 'LE rose' in the 1st sentence in the lesson, in the masculine gender because 'le rose' is used as a noun? If the answer is yes, are all colours used as nouns masculine?
