a question about ''closes'' versus ''will close''

Why is the translation 'Le club fermera dans dix minutes" wrong in answer to the question "The club closes in 10 minutes''

when 'fermera' translates to 'will close' Or 'The club will close in 10 minutes'

But 'Le club ferme dans dix minutes' is the correct answer. Surely 'will close' and 'closes' is the same meaning.

Ce que ou Ce qui ?

Bonjour, Je peux poser une question s'il vous plaît. Pourquoi on utilise ce que ici et pas ce qui ? "On a du mal à comprendre ce que représentent six millions de corps !"

Please explain the differences in use of avoir besoin and il faut. In this case elle en avoir besoin was not a listed option.

Des autres vs d’autres

Regarding this test question and my wrong answer and correct answer: “How would you say "One has to earn others' respect." in French?

Il faut gagner le respect des autres. (Correct)

Il faut gagner le respect d’autres. (My wrong answer)

I’ve read the lesson numerous times as well as the discussion below and nothing explains why I was marked wrong on this question. Is there something about “il faut” that is like “se server de” in the lesson’s example that would require “DES autres” instead of “d’autre”? The translation is not “of THE others”, just the more general “others”.

Maybe the title should include "de" i.e., faire exprès (de)?

Should the title include the word "de" (faire exprès de)? Right now it just shows faire exprès. Thank you.

Do you pronounce s when tous is a pronoun but not a complement to the subject

If I say Je vous deteste tous-I hate all of you. Then,tous is a pronoun but not a complement to the subject. So do you pronounce the S?

lowered score after correct result

Hi Aurelie / Rowen, I started with a score of 80+% for this topic, and an overall C1 score of 99.01%. I took the quiz again getting both answers right yet when I returned to my dashboard b=my topic score had lowered to 76 and my overall score to 98+. Is Kizbot affected by solar flares perhaps?

Yours in confusion, Alexandra
