Question about meaning of phrase in text

Hi, this struck me as odd: "vous devriez peut-être considérer que la relation n'est pas n'est pas censée durer" - why not just "n'est pas censée durer"? Why the repetition?

The place of subject pronouns

Why is 'Daphné apprend-elle le français' correct while 'Daphné apprend-t-elle le français' is marked wrong. All the examples in the lesson add 't' when the verb does'nt elide.

Last sentence

I don’t think the "grand" in the final sentence sounded quite right, more like gros. It was fine in the recording of the whole extract but not in the individual exercise. Or is it my ears?! (Une nouvelle que nous avions accueillie avec grand soulagement !)

Gender AssumptionAprès être [venu/e] me voir jouer, elles étaient très enthousiastes . Does this question actually provide enough information on which to judge the gender of the speaker? The answer seems to assume that the speaker is feminine merely because the audience is feminine.
