I got this question:
Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est _______.
I answered bon because I knew to use the masculine, but my question is why it's c'est in this case. I've read the relevant pages ("C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French and Standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine) and my interpretation is that this would fall under 2b of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French:
il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things.How is Il fait bon aujourd'hui "It is warm" as your test implies? Should it not be "Il fait chaud"? I would think the translation should have been correct as "It is nice" today for Il fait bon aujourd'hui.
