Listening to audio

Bonjour!

I was wondering when listening to the audio of how to say the verb acheterais and acheterait to me they do sound the same am I correct to make that assumption?

I also wonder if the letter r is always silent as well as the letter L?

Thanks

Nicole

l'appréhension qui lui avait serré le ventre avant de partir

Why in this sentence is both 'lui' and 'le' needed? As isn't "le" meaning "her" here because "ventre" is a body part?

The same thing with the sentence "Le vent vivifiant lui fouettait le visage"

vocabulary list for the writing exercises--why not provide

I dutifully look up vocabulary for the writing exercises, and usually I arrive at the wrong thing and not colloquial thing. Why not just give us a list with the exercise?

Nous ________ les cheveux.

Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly? I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". The rule quite clearly states that the past participle should be modified to agree in number and gender though. We is inherently plural, so shouldn't an "s" be added to the end? Or am I missing something here?
