Their life or their lives

Hi Kwiziq team,

Why not "their lives" here:

Je fais ce que je peux pour rendre leur(s) vie(s) plus facile tout en leur faisant découvrir notre culture.

Thank you

Confusing question

Questions including sentenses like "This bedroom is grey. - Yes, it's grey here." make absolutley no sense to me.

What is "Yes, it's grey here" referring to? The weather, or a completely different bedroom perhaps.

As I have no idea, I have to quess and and so keep getting the answer wrong.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what the question means by using different words.

passe compose vs imparfaitApparently a lot of people are having problems with these two tenses in this exercise. Even experts (C1) differ in opinion. Maybe there is no absolutely correct usage.

j'ai mangé pendant une heure vs j'ai mangé en une heure.

Do they have the same meaning: I ate within one heure?

Thanks.

Aux environs de midi - not accepted

"Aux environs de midi" is being red-lined, although it could be cut and pasted directly from Larousse.

paraître in passé composé - être or avoir ?

I put in "Le lapin EST disparu" and I was marked as wrong. "A paru" was given as the only correct answer.

"Il faudra qu'on se refasse ça à l'occasion". I am unclear about the function of "se" in this sentence. Would it also be correct to say "Il faudra qu'on refasse ça à l'occasion" to mean "We'll have to do this again sometime"?
