[meilleur etc] + noun

And what if I want to say e.g: Clarrisa is a worse/better student than I am.

Clarissa est une plus mauvaise élève que moi/ Clarissa est une pire élève que moi.

Clarrissa est une meilleure élève que moi.

and for plural:

Clarrisa et Ben sont de plus mauvais/de pires élèves que moi.

Clarrisa et Ben sont de meilleurs élèves que moi.

or maybe:

Clarrisa et Ben sont des eleves plus mauvais/des élèves pires que moi.

Clarrisa et Ben sont des élèves meilleurs que moi

I am not sure about the articles here... So is it ok what I wrote ?

“J’ai rendez-vous avec mon amie”

This question was asked in a previous quiz, and the answer was you cannot tell the gender of the ‘“amie”. I understand that the ending e makes it a female friend, but if the question is verbalized, that is not available information. In the quiz I just took, the answer is ‘a woman’. I am confused as to how to answer this question in future quizzes, as two different answers have been given.

Why singular for nez and tête?

I understand why we use the definite article for one and possessive adjective for the other buy why are they both singular?

Missing Commas

In the third sentence of both the English & French text, after the second phrase (I stay at home & je reste chez moi) there is no comma. The way it is written it would sound like a run-on sentence.

Weekend in Quebec

In my experience, ''fin de semaine'' is used in Quebec much more than ''weekend''. Are they interchangeable in France?

Is this correct?

For this example:

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !I don't understand the time she takes to get ready!
Isn't the subjunctive of prendre supposed to be prenne?

Rapporter vs Retourner

When looking around on the internet, it seems like "Retourner" is used here and there, both informal on message boards and formal on shopping sites (for example H&M website: "POUR RETOURNER UN ACHAT EN LIGNE"), for indicating returning an item.

Could you elaborate on this and why you write "Retourner never means to return (something) in the context of a shop for example." ?
