Ce que ou Ce qui ?

Bonjour, Je peux poser une question s'il vous plaît. Pourquoi on utilise ce que ici et pas ce qui ? "On a du mal à comprendre ce que représentent six millions de corps !"

Agreement between noun and adjective "et leurs moules à la provençale ont l'air délicieuses"

Why is it that "délicieuses" is plural, in agreement with "moules", and not with "l'air"?

Dance class lesson with dans Le or en

I have read your answer to Liz and it still is not clear concerning “why is using dans le to indicate being in an actual dance class wrong?”

According to the notes: “dans + article + noun is used to refer to an actual physical place.”

A “dance” class is not specific enough??

When can “si” be used

Bonjour! Could the interviewer have answered “si, vraiment” when James said “n’importe quoi”? Also, I infer that “n’importe quoi” is something you’d say when trying to be humble. What’s a good equivalent in English? I don’t exactly understand the expression. Merci!

use of 'ne' with avant que

One of the correct options used "avant que" without the "ne". I gather this is permissible sometimes?

Nous faisons virer de l'argent une fois par mois

How do we know in which direction the money is going? Is it coming to us or are we sending it to someone? The English implies it is coming to us.

So many questions for this exercise...

Can I not write "depuis la naissance de ma fille" en place de "j'ai donné naissance à ma fille"?

Can I not write "seulement" instead of "ne...que"

Finally, for the sentence "et ceux pour lesquels c'est impensable" I wrote "et ceux pour qui cela est impensable" I used cela and not ce because it referred to an idea in previous part of the sentence. Please explain why cela is wrong here or why c is correct.

Thanks in advance!

Direct object sentence

Hello,

I am doing the A1 reading passage for the Cher journal and the sentence I'm confused on is. Il me reste des crosissants du weekend.

I know il me reste is a direct object sentence but not sure how the meaning of the word reste is used here.

I think it means he has leftover croissants?

Thanks

Nicole
