If I were to say: I spend my holidays relaxing, would the translation be “j’ai passé mes vacances” “en relaxant” or “à relaxer”?

Thanks!

Instead of "avec ses mains minuscules" for "with his tiny hands", could you also say "avec ses toutes petites mains" ?

And

instead of the verb "attraper" could i have used "se saisir de" and said "il s'est saisi de mon pouce" ?

How come, in the final sentence of this exercise, the past subjunctive is not used following "Rien que"?  Instead, it was the passé composé. 

The audio recording for the English "hope" seems to be for "horror" instead.

Line 2:

Oh, mes rhumatismes me dérangent un peu......

Is the 'me' before dérangent missing? I've listened several times but can't hear it.

I do not understand why appelée was used, and not appelé, and I do not think the explanation below is correct. Le Passé Composé here has nothing to do with Emma’s gender, as it surely has to agree with il. And why, then, would the suggested answers use téléphoné, and not téléphonée ?

in order to make us do our homeworkcorrect answer is "enfin de nous faire faire nos devoirs. Why is the infinitive  used in both cases ("make us" "do our homework"?

Il y avait une opposition considérable à la construction de la tour. De nombreux artistes et écrivains étaient contre le projet mais la popularité de la tour et de l'exposition a fait taire les objections.

I found this article: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/comparative-adverbs/", explaining how to use: "plus/moins/aussi que" and "plus/moins/autant de/que", and i did the 4-question kwiz at the of the lesson but I feel like I need more practice. Is there a way I could get more practice specific to these subjects?
