Can you explain why 'surprise' doesn't have an acute accent on the 'e'?

I don’t know why my answer wouldn’t be qu’ in this instance, rather than the unshortened que. I’d appreciate guidance.

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)?

Besides 'comme celles que j'avais eues les premiers mois', one of the recommended translations of 'like the ones that I'd had during the first few months' is 'telles que j'avais eues pendant les premiers mois'.

But the antecedent is 'une hallucination'.

So shouldn't this option be 'telle que j'avais eue pendant les premiers mois'...?

"Pronunciation Note: 

Does that mean that the final -s is always pronounced if the meaning is positive? Is that how French people distinguish between 1) J'ai plus du temps and 2) J'ai plus de temps (where 2 is really Je n'ai plus de temps with the ne omitted as it often is in conversation). How do native French listeners tell the difference?

I had to complete the sentence "Nous ___ notre dernier concert" (We remember our last concert).

I filled in "nous souvenont de". It was however marked as incorrect, and the correct answer was "nous rappelons de".

I thought you could use both and my answer was regarded "better" (according to the lesson: "Se souvenir de is the slightly more sophisticated option to say you remember.")

Articulation is very poor in places, especially "et il n'y aura pas de jalouses " and "Papa, quand on aura fini la visite". I realize you're trying to provide a range of voices and accents, but it makes it really difficult to understand sometimes. A native French speaking friend listened to this and she really struggled to understand it.

What is the negative form of nous(manger)?

Why is this not in Imparfait? It's a description and the family, presumably, continues to love dogs. 

Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip.  Why the imparfait here?  It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive.  It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.
