va á and adapte á

There was an earlier quiz where "something fitted someone" and the answer was APADTE Á. I also remember that VA Á was not one of the options. When is 'adapte á" appropriate?

Qu'est-ce qu(e/i) or Quoi???

I think I've finally gotten the "ce qui" vs "ce que" vs. "qui/e" down, but I'm utterly confused about when "quoi" is used. When I see "what is," I invariably think "quoi," but I'm usually wrong. The best rule I've determined is to use "quoi" with an infinitive, "je ne sais pas quoi faire," but is that really it for "quoi"? Thanks!

Même not present in audio

The text reads “Tant mieux, car je n'ai même pas encore commencé à râper le fromage”, but there’s no “même” spoken in the audio (Cécile has confirmed this to be the case in the Q&A).

The text just needs a small correction.

Paul's question re use of subjunctive

Auparavant, Paul et Cecile connaissent la raison de l'utilisation du subjonctif. J'ai cherché la bibliothèque de Kwiziq en ce qui concerne le mot meilleur et le subjonctif mais je n'ai rien trouvé. Est-ce que vous pouvez en élaborer ?

Who are "all those"Hello, in the quiz related to celui, celle, etc, there is the following question:
Depuis 1945, le système de sécurité sociale est financé par les entreprises et tous ________ qui travaillent en France.Since 1945, the social security system has been funded by businesses and all those who work in France.
I'm confused.. why is ceux the correct answer? Does 'ceux' refer to "all those who work in France" or something else?

Alternatives for hugging

Why could you not use étreinte or embrasser for hugging please? Enlacement only returns as one option in dictionaries and DeepL and Google translate so why is it preferred here? Thanks.
