D'Houstan ou de Houstan?

Car H mute est une voyelle....????

J'ai écrit je fais des choses variées au lieu de différentes?

Çà marche?

Merci 

1. My dictionary suggested "roman d'amour" for romance novel, but the accepted answers only included "roman à l'eau de rose," "roman sentimental," etc. Is there a difference?

2. I used "réussite" instead of "succès" just because it seemed to be repeated too often, but it seems like it wasn't an accepted answers some of the time; is there a difference between the two?

I wrote "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing multiple actresses and their careers. This was marked wrong.

I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this topic, and there are several examples, such as "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this topic has come up in the Q&A before, but I am still confused as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular when one is referring to more than one person and their possessions. In this case, it seems that saying "leur carriere" would imply that all the actresses are sharing the same career.

Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I enjoyed learning about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her. 

Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)

Merci a tous et bonne continuation !

P.S. Apologies if this question appears twice - the first time I posted it, it simply disappeared, so I've rewritten it here. 

My new school bag is blue and yellow

I answered: Mon cartable neuf est bleu et jaune

Kwiziq wanted: Mon nouveau cartable est bleu et jaune

I took the phrase to mean that the bag was brand new, so I used "neuf". Is the phrase ambiguous or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Alexandre is a proper noun, so shortening it to "qu'Alexandre" is optional and not necessary. Yet I got marked wrong for writing "n'a embrassé que Alexandre"

Second sentence, 'dormi' sounds like 'dorni' - that is, no 'm' sound.  Third sentence, 'et il a' sounds like 'et la' - that is, no 'il' sound.

In the lesson it says:

As for the years post 2000's,

There is only one way to read them, and that is as a full number:

But there are still many years to come after the year 2000 (infinitely many actually). 

So, how would you say 'the 10th of March 2155'? (my 200th birthday :)

"Le dix mars vingt et-un-cents cinquante cinq" or "Le dix mars deux mille deux cents cinquante cinq" (or neither)?

I understand that aucun is more emphatic than pas de, but does "Je n'avait pas d'idée ..." not work for this sentence as well?  Thank you.
