"Plus" usually means "more". Then the sentance, Il n'a plus de billes, should read, I do not have anymore marbles. Where does "left" come from?

In the phrase ....elle fait une bonne tarte aux fruits et elle invite des amis pour le gouter...shouldn't 'le' be 'la' because it's a pronoun substituting for 'tart' which is feminine?

Harsh Marking System

I thought the marking was a bit odd as I have underlined the words I got wrong and one was a verb avertir I used in lieu of prèvenir?

- Bonjour Sandra ! J'ai besoin de ton aide. - Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ? - Je dois partir(quitter) à midi parce que ma fille est malade. Est-ce que tu peux prévenir(avertir) Jean-Pierre ? - Pas de problème ! J'ai une réunion avec lui avant mon déjeuner avec Marielle. - Merci beaucoup ! Lucie a de la fièvre et je suis un peu inquiète. - Je comprends. À demain !

I chose “veux” in the first question { Je veux du silence} which was incorrect. Wouldn’t this choice depend on who I was speaking to? ie. My kids?!
