Ôter versus enlever

When I used , it was marked out in favor of , which I never hear i conversation. However, at the end of the exercise, I see enlever used when the text is played back. Looks like an oversight or self-contradiction you can easily repair.

Concordance of tenses

One of the questions turns the sentence about dolphins into a question: Saviez-vous que les dauphins sont des mammifères? Could you say why "sont" isn’t concordant with "saviez"? In your article on this subject it says "You can't use the past tense in the main clause with the present tense in the subordinate - the latter must be in the past as well: "Il ne savait pas que j'étais professeur (He did not know that I was a teacher)" Thanks!
