Why is there Mieux not Meilleur ?

I know one is adverb and other is abjective but I think adjective should work here too

I'm learning a piece of music by the composer Georges Hüe.  How is this last name pronounced?  From the description I saw on https://www.lawlessfrench.com/pronunciation/dieresis/ I am guessing that the "H" is silent, the "ü" is pronounced as a standard "u," and the "e" is voiced instead of silent.  Is that correct?  (If someone knows IPA, then perhaps that would be a good way to answer?)

For this Kwiziq question I put: Katie appelle Sonia au cas où elle aurait du retard

It was marked wrong, but I think that should also be accepted? avoir du retard = to be late

Nick

p.s. is it less common to use avoir du retard than être en retard?

"qu'on pouvait passer ses vacances ainsi"   Why l'imparfait and not le conditionnel?

I have a question about the number one in front of larger numbers. Is One hundred million written ‘un cent milliards’, ‘une cent milliards’ or ‘cent milliards’

Can anyone explain why "rapidement" goes to the end of the sentence here. I placed it between "peux" and "regarder" as I thought adverbs went between an auxilliary/modal verb and the participle/infinitive. According to the solutions given this was the correct placing for "vite" but "rapidement" was placed at the end of the sentence. 

il raconte une histoire à mon ami- il lui en raconte (or it should be  il la lui raconte"?) if it's 2d option, could you please explain why? thank you!

All of the examples with du chocolat or du cafe translate as some chocolate or some coffee, but in my kwiz it has it listed as nearly correct. I don't really care about the points, but it's confusing for the quiz to not line up with the lesson.

In this structure in English, you can use either an object pronoun or a subject pronoun plus a verb. You can't use a subject pronoun without a verb.  "She is taller than me." OR "She is taller than I am." BUT NOT "She is taller than I."
