Merci!
Notre clients projette d'aller a la concurrence. Wouldn't "competition" be a more precise translation than "our rivals"?
Please will you explain the answer to this question : How could you say "The boys with whom Marie is playing are her brothers." ?
The answer given in the quiz is that that the first and second answers are correct. I don't understand why " avec quelles " is correct and not " avec qui"

I always learn so much with these Weekend Workouts; thanks for providing a way to practice as we learn.
Is it possible to provide the translations or at least a common source to look up the words and phrases suggested ahead of the Writing Challenges? I have often chosen different words and phrases than are used in the later given context.

Merci !

In this example:
Regarde ces filles. Celle qui court s'appelle Sophia
Can I use "Ce qui" instead of "Celle qui" as follows (remember ce qui, ce que, ce dont)?
Regarde ces filles. Ce qui court s'appelle Sophie
Merci d'avance.
