What is the difference between plutot and assez?

"It's quite difficult but useful."

Why can't you use 'plutot' in this sentence?

Is 'assez' used for quite while plutot for 'rather'?

“tel que” structure agreement ruleMore of an observation than a question (as I’ve investigated this a little myself now), but I felt that “ainsi que dans certains domaines d'activité, tels que l'administration ou la santé.“ is a great line to illustrate that the generic “tel que” structure agrees with “domaines (nm.pl)” and therefore is “tels que” in the exercise text. It is not “telles que” because it does not align with the examples that follow it (in this case, two feminine words, “administration/santé”).

Le héros?I just realized that it's un héro but le héros. Is there a reason for that? Are there any other nouns that have different spellings for the same gender going from un to le? Thanks.

nous nous sommes brosséI'm confused this is a reflexive verb, so uses etre, and with a plural subject. So why is it not "nous nous sommes brosséS"?

Qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que?I'm confused on when to use 'qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que at the beginning of a sentence'. In each case the translation was 'who did such and such'.One or the other have been given as a correct answer but I haven't worked out which one for which circumstance. What is the rule please.
