Est-ce-que une  moitié toujours feminine parce-que demi n'est pas,

their apartment is beautiful, "oui, il est."  I thought "c'est" was used to express an opinion about a previously mentioned item???

Is there a difference between using 

etre a + moi/toi/lui/... 

and

possessive pronous? 

Or could they be used interchangeably? Are there certain situations in which one would be better than the other? 

For example: 

Ces lunettes de soleil ne sont pas les siennes.

Salut, dans vos premiers indices, pourquoi donnez-vous "Bonne chance" = "good luck," quand le meilleure reponse est "la bonne fortune"?: Merci.

  : pour apporter la bonne chancfortune à tout le monde ! 

how to identify a word is masculine or feminine...

OK, after ten minutes of work I *think* I finally found the answer in 2b (it might have been 2a — I can’t look while typing this) of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French

My question was how to decide between ce and elle.  I *think* the answer is that this is a general statement of opinion.  It would be nice if the first answer marked with the green checkmark as a correct answer were the one that contains a link to the lesson/article including this information.  Actually it would be nice if that answer contained links to the other related articles as well.

Note that the first answer marked with the green checkmark is NOT correct.  More accurately, it is ONLY correct if one encounters this question in the context of a lesson.  When one encounters the question as part of a « Test Now » set of ten questions for level A1 (as I did, of course) there is no lesson context to tell you to use ce instead of ça.  That wasn’t my problem, but it was not helpful to encounter that « correct answer » while trying to solve my issue.
