I hear sept heures moins quart, not sept heures moins le quart. Which is it?

A multiple choice question I got gave me the options of (1) “La porte fait un mètre de large.”, (2) “La porte a un mètre de large.”, (3) “La porte est un mètre de largeur.”, (4) “La porte est large d'un mètre.”. According to the dictionary I use, you can use avoir, too, and it gives the example of “Ce meuble a 45 cm de large.”; however, the quizz insists only (1) and (4) are correct. Who’s right?

Can 'parcourir' be used interchangeably with 'couvrir' in the context of this exercise? 

pourquoi il y a 'en' dans la phrase 'je voudrais en faire une journée mémorable'.

This is a really comprehensive lesson. Cécile even provided a list of words beginning with "h" in the comments above but included only nouns and verbs. It would be great if you added a list of adjectives beginning with "h" so we can see which ones follow which rules for "tout" all in one place. 

"les vêtements colorés"

"des vêtements sombre"

I don't get the difference.

Thanks

In the list of words to be familiar with at the beginning of this exercise, "nutmeg" (the last word given) is included for some reason.

What is the mood and tense of Qui l'eût cru?
