Hello, how do you know which translation to English to use? Thank you

Hidden in my bedroom, I'd tied the flowers with a pretty bow. HINT: Gaspard is speaking (man). 

Dissimulé dans ma chambre, j'avais lié (or attaché) les fleurs avec un joli nœud.

Why do we have this hint? What would change if the speaker were female?

I said "Grâce à sa bonté et à sa joie de vivre" instead of "Grâce à sa gentillesse et à sa joie de vivre" and was marked wrong. Isn't "bonté" French for "Kindness"? Thanks.

Would "Je pourrais aussi bien" or "Je ferais aussi bien de" work here in the place of "Autant"? Is there a difference in meaning or register between Autant and those phrases, or situations where one would work and not the other? Thanks.

According to the above rule, each/every month should only be chaque mois, since "chaque" goes with a singular noun, and "tous les" goes with a plural noun.  How is "mois" plural?  Just because it has an "s" at the end?  Very confusing.  Please help!

As the English was 'bedsheets', draps de lit should be accepted as correct - it got the blue line through 'de lit'. There may be regional differences, but in Australia we would usually not say 'bedsheets' unless being very specific, and 'sheets' would be the same as 'draps'. 

French people in Australia will often revert to saying 'bed linen' or sometimes 'bed sheets', but avoid 'sheets' because the French accent changes "I have the sheets" to a rather colloquial expression !

< Il va rester dedans > is being red-lined for "he is going to stay inside", but it is correct too.

Why am I unable to retake the quick, 2 question quiz at the end of a lesson? I have put the lesson in my notebook, gone to my notebook to retake the quiz, but it still says I took the quiz 3 days ago,Go to you notebook not to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.
This is not consistent, but it is also not infrequent. It helps me know that I DI know the material and can move on.
Thanks.
