imparfait vs plus que parfait

for translating the phrase, "who had been waiting for the snow...the correct answer used the imparfait. Wouldn't that be translated as was waiting? (Rather than had been waiting)

Qu'est-ce qui and Quel

I am really struggling to understand the difference between these as they are both used when there is a choice as What/Which. I have read the lessons on these over and over but still consistently getting answers wrong. I was wondering if someone could explain as simply as possible please!

Many thanks

Amanda

Use of “marque”I''m wondering if there is a lesson already in Kwiziq that might help me with my confusion around the use of "marque" below in sentences I read elsewhere:

1. C'est une marque de voitures anglaise

2. Nous désirons acheter une voiture d'une marque anglaise

The What are the rules of placing marque relative to voiture and anglaise? Why is there repetition of "une" in #2 to refer to each noun (voiture/marque), when there is no such repetition in #1? I was expecting to see "Nous désirons acheter une voiture de marque anglaise" (similar to the structure in #1). Thanks for your help! Rod
