"Tu sais ce qui est le plus efficace", qui = Who or what ?

Salut tout le monde ! 

I was asked to translate "tu sais ce qui est le plus efficace ?", j'y ai répondu "do you know who is the most efficient?" mais la bonne réponse est "do you Kong what is post efficient?".


J'ai du mal à comprendre pourquoi les deux ne sont pas corrects, j'apprécierais une explication. Merci beaucoup ! :)

Are these both correct? Interchangeable?

Spelling of the adverb tout/tout/toutes before an adjective in feminine formIn the "Le 14 juillet en famille - Tout" quiz linked to Laura's Newletter of 16Jul21, there is one answer I do not understand.  It is in the sentence "Avant de se mettre en route, on se réunit tous devant la maison pour que ma grand-mère, toute habillée de bleu" .  I wrote "tout habillée" but the correction is given as "toute habillée".  I think that in this sentence, tout/toute is an adverb complementing the adjective, habillée. Habillée is in the feminine form to agree with "Elle". I thought in this situation, the adverb, tout, changed to agree ONLY when the adjective was feminine AND began with a consonant or an aspirated h……. I believe habillée begins with a mute h.  I would be grateful if you can explain why it should be toute habillée in this case.  Thank you.  A.

Can this negation be used as an imperative command

Le professeur dit de ne pas courir.

Can "ne pas courir" be used as the negative imperative "Don't run !"
