The last sentence again: and by midday, we were able to go outside......
was translated as: et avant midi, nous avons pu sortir......

Is either option acceptable for this exercise?
Last sentence - Why géante and not géantes?

Official French documents I have had to complete - eg long stay visa applications etc use < nom > for surname; it should be accepted on its own, not just as < nom de famille >.

Although official documents do use < état civil >, both < situation familiale > and < situation de famille > are also used in general conversations and enquiries of marriage/domestic arrangements.
