Oops: the question is “Je suis contente. Non, je ne suis pas du tout contente.”

I wrote “Non, je ne suis pas contente du tout” and this answer was accepted as nearly correct. Why, what is the difference? I thought the two expressions are interchangeable.

thank you

Correction method problemOn the "Une petite soeur très curieuse" test I was given a 4 correct and 6 nearly correct, but there was no differnce in my answers and the correct ones. I'm wondering if it is something to do with different keyboards. I notice when I type oe, it also corrects that as on your keyboard they are nearly attached together...?

Il est or c'est in this case

Can you tell me which is the correct translation in this case and why?

I find it hard to decide which category it comes in.

It is logical that you have gone first.

1. Il est logique que vous soyez passée la première

2. C'est logique que vous soyez passée la première

Couldn't I say, "Je n'ai fait que mes devoirs"? Why is "Je n'ai que fait mes devoirs" better. The 1st one feels more natural.

a été réveillé vs était réveillé

In filling in the blank for Bob __ par la reveil tous les jours (Bob was awaken by the alarm every day), I typed "a été réveillé par" instead of "était réveillé". Could you help me understand why the imparfait was incorrect? Thanks!
