The given translation of "Vous êtes retournés dans la maison de votre enfance" is "You went back to your childhood home."

(A)Ce portable, appartient-il à ce monsieur?
The answers I thought were->
1.Oui, c’est le sien. 2. Oui, il est à lui. 3.Oui, il appartient à lui.
Are they correct ? Can one say- Oui, il est le sien ?
(B)Tout le monde n’a pas les mêmes goûts, chacun a __________
Here, the correct answer will be les siens. Why cannot it be le sien ?

why is the adjective here after the noun?

The lesson says: - We use the auxiliary verb être conjugated in a compound tense*, followed by the past participle of the verb. However, all the examples use avoir, not etre. I'm assuming etre is a mistake.
