Why is tu t-appelles Gary incorrect please ? 🤔

I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence.  Please comment. 

It's very frustrating, even after listening to it 20 times and with the volume turned up, I hear, "...mais longtemps encore très souvent les chansons à la radio...".

The examples use avoir but the text says use etre - I am confused 

Bonjour

Can one as an alternative to "deux sucettes au caramel" write "deux sucettes caramélisées"? This is in line with phrases like "porc salé" and "bouillon aromatisé".

Or, does "deux sucettes au caramel" imply lollipops that contain pieces of caramel compared to "deux sucettes caramélisées" that implies lollipops with a caramel flavour?

I find the difference between singular and plural to be very subtle in spoken French, even when spoken slowly and carefully as in the audio lessons.

des (¨day¨) vs de (¨duh¨) 

J'adore aussi l'odeur des châtaignes (plural)

J'adore aussi l'odeur de châtaigne (singular)

Any hints on how to pick up that difference when listening?

Per the given definition of the use of demeurer, je suis demeurê makes no sense since the question refers to a state of mind and not a location. Why is that given as the correct answer?
