Brand new vs New (but used before)

Why is the answer not: Georges cherche pour son neuf stylo?

There is no suggestion that the new pen has been used before. If it had, it would be (masc/sing) nouveau - the answer given as correct.

Can you please explain why the answer is nouveau.

Savoir / Pouvoir

Are there parts of France where they use the verb savoir to mean pouvoir? I am told this is a tendency of speakers in Belgium.

C'est vs Il (Elle) estOne of the Kwizes has the question: "Tu aimes l'école? Oui, ______ est très bien." Both "c'est" and "elle est" are among the choices to choose from, from "c'est" alone is listed as the correct answer.

Shouldn't both "c'est" and, "elle est" be correct answers, since the question is ambiguous about whether it's asking, "do you like school [in general]" or, "do you like _the_ school [which you attend]?"
