Too many hints

Hi, I think there are too many hints in many of these exercises (including this one). Specifically, the type of hint that tells you what word or words to use. These prevent you from making your own attempt. Personally, I’d remove these.

Parle-m'en

In english (maybe just NZ?) we use the expression "tell me about it" as a sort of ironic way of saying that you share not-so-good experiences with someone. eg. Speaker 1 - it was so hot last night, I couldn't sleep. Speaker 2 - tell me about it (meaning I had the same experience). Is Parle-m'en used the same way?

Passive Voice acceptable?For the question: Titanic was released in 1998

is 'Titanic a été sorti en 1998' a possible correct answer?

If not, why not?

If so, what's the difference (compared with the correct answer given: Titanic est sorti en 1998)?

Using the present tense like the past?

In a recent test question: "In 1515, Francis I won the battle of Marignano." the correct answer was "a gagné" and not "gagne". Why does the "Historical Present" not apply in this case ?https://french.kwiziq.com/questions/view/using-the-present-tense-like-the-past

j'éviterai ainsi de parler aux pestes - presumeably this has a meaning other than "I will thus avoid talking to the pests"?

Asuggestion to improve la dictee

We would profit if after the exercise we are given the sentences where we had made mistakes, or given a retrial to specifically work on them.
