In one question I am confused

Julia is watching a Tom Cruise movie, there are four answers:-

1.It is very good - Il est très bon - agreed

2.He is very good - Il est très bon - Only if you are referring to Tom Cruise

3.She is very good - Elle est très bonne - Julia might not like Tom Cruise so she might be very good in watching it............

4.I can't remember the last answer offhand but it does have an instance where it COULD be correct.

The point is that other than answer 1 the other options are ALL options and may all be correct in certain circumstances. The ONLY certain answer to this particular question is the first one, all others are possible but are liable to return a partially correct result depending upon the way in which the question is viewed. I submit that it may NOT be the best question for this exercise.

Aurélie, both que and qui can be used for which and that. And we qui when the following word is a verb or reflexive pronoun. Il veut visiter le château qui est au milieu de la forêt. 'visiter is the verb but it does not follow it is before qui so why is que in this question wrong?

My quiz today asked how to say It is hot. Yes, it’s “I’ll fait chaud”. But what about the idiomatic with avoir? Can’t it also be “Il a chaud”?

"... bien que je ne sois pas d'accord" vs "... bien que je n'étais pas d'accord"My question follows Janine's.

In English there may be a difference in meaning between "You went out even though I wasn't ok with it" and "You went out even though I'm not ok with it"; I might have changed my mind in the interim: "You went out even though I wasn't ok with it [, but now I am ok with it]." Wouldn't this second sense require the imperfect rather than the subjunctive in modern French: "... bien que je n'étais pas d'accord"?

What in the Lilt?

Why does the young woman have a lilt on words at the end of her phrases? Is that a cultural thing? It reminds me of a California "valley girl" accent...
