Please explain to me why "que porte le maître en raquettes à neige" means the opposite, should it be "que le maître en raquettes à neige porte"?

Meilleur vs Mieux

Does French follow the same linking verb + adjective convention as in English? Linking verbs, which include "to feel", link the subject and the predicate so are followed by adjectives, not adverbs. In the kwiz, there was "Je me sens mieux." I feel better. Of course, "feel" can be a transitive verb also as in "feel an object," so a person can feel (it) better, in which case "better" is an adverb.

Alternative spellings for Fête des mères

I translated 'Mother's Day' as 'fête des Mères' which Kwiziq dinged as a mistake.

The 2013 Compact Oxford Hachette French Dictionary uses the translation 'fête des Mères' (p 719).

I read that there can be much variety in how such events are spelled.

Could it simply be that the spelling l used is not yet known by AI Kwiziq?

Thank you

Partir + de + a place = Sortir + de + a place?

It seems that they mean the same. Correct me if I am wrong

- Partir + de + a place = leave a place

- Sortir + de + a place = go out of a place

C’était un peu du n’importe quoi

C’était un peu du n’importe quoi- why isn’t it “c’était un peu de n’importe quoi “ ? I always thought that de was used after a quantity ?

à qui vs. auquel

Good day
Please see the question below:
La France est dotée d'un territoire aux climats et aux reliefs variés, grâce ________ sa production agricole est très diversifiée.

I wrote "à qui", but it was marked incorrect, saying that "auquel" is the only correct answer. Why is "à qui" unacceptable in this context?
