Alternate answers within the exercises

One of the things I love about Progress with Lawless French is that in the Written and Dictation exercies, alternate answers are given so you can learn all the different ways to express a given passage. What I don't like, however, is that when a result comes up "Your answer matched mine", no alternate answers are given. I really miss that extra chance to expand my French that is provided in the alternate answers.

Placement of Subject after C'est / Ce sont

1) Ce sont les plus beaux paysages de la région. VS. Ce sont les paysages les plus beaux de la région.

2) C'est la moins difficile question. VS. C'est la question la moins difficile.

3) J'achète le moins cher pull. VS. J'achète le pull le moins cher.

Is there a difference between the 2 ways of writing? Are both correct?

adjective placement

"Une délicieuse viande grillée"

I can't find anything in the rules for adjective placement explaining the placement of "délicieuse" before "viande" instead of between "viande and grillée.

Could we learn one simple way of doing this first, please?

I have read the lesson and the forum. At this level, is it really necessary to learn several (confusing) ways of asking these questions? Could we learn to use one, the commonest one, and then come back to another lesson later for all the variations. I cannot get past this test (but I can get what I want in a boulangerie!) :)

Unclear speech.

The speech on this recording is very unclear. I really struggled to make out the words, even after listening to each phrase multiple times.
