Can I use it like "Aussi+adverb que+ Subjonctif

"Aussi+adverb que+ Subjonctif" is it gramatically correct or not?

I know I can use "Aussi+adjective que+ Subjonctif" But I am curious about using this form with adverbs
For example:Aussi vite qu'elle coure,jamais elle ne me rattapera=no matter how fast she runs she will not catch me?

Capitalisation inconsistency between hint and answer

For "Lake Geneva" the hint given was that in French it is "le lac Leman/le lac de Genève" but the answer had "Lac" capitalised - "ses vues époustouflantes du Lac Léman/ du Lac de Genève". So wondering whether it was the hint or the answer that was correct, or whether both forms are allowed. Thanks.

I found both le grand huit and une montagne russe and I always have trouble deciding which option to use (usually the "wrong" one! as in this case I used la montagne russe which was corrected to plural. The alternative option (the preferred response) le grand huit was not. Can someone explain?

La fourchette ________ tu te sers était à ma mère.

I assumed "dont" would be the correct answer since the relative pronoun is for "se servir de" which is a verbal phrase.
I thought "de laquelle" was only used for prepositional phrases ( près de, à côté de, autour de, etc)

However, both answers are marked correct. Can someone please clarify this for me, please?
