“Nous pensons que c'est une bonne idée.”

Why is ‘que’ used instead of ‘ce que’  if we’re referring to the entire statement ‘c’est une bonne idée’ and not a specific object? 

I’m dying to know why! 

According to the notes, Jacques a descendu ... could mean he climbed down off the giant. I picked this answer, too, and it was wrong. Why? Thanks for your help.

In the same way, how would you say the rose suits us?
