"un ogre grand comme une maison"

I've learned that adjectives that represent size (like grand, petit, gros, etc) should come before the noun. But in this sentence it is after the noun. Could someone please explain why?

In the quiz question

Mon frère, ________ la femme est prof, est architecte.

I originally put 'dont', then second-guessed myself and wrote 'de qui'. I was marked wrong. But in the lesson it states that de qui is also correct, just much less common.

So shouldn't it also be accepted as an answer?

Just to be sure. Is it okay if I say, 

« Regardez cette fleur. C’est beau, n’est pas? » ?

One of the questions turns the sentence about dolphins into a question: Saviez-vous que les dauphins sont des mammifères?  Could you say why "sont" isn’t concordant with "saviez"? In your article on this subject it says "You can't use the past tense in the main clause with the present tense in the subordinate - the latter must be in the past as well: "Il ne savait pas que j'étais professeur (He did not know that I was a teacher)"      Thanks!

if there is a noun at the begining of the sentence we have two ways to ask a question ;

est-ce que henry a un sac?

henry a-t-il un sac
can we use the "a" at the begining of the question word?
for example A henry un sac or  "ont les femmes des crayons? does it work? 

I wish your helps
Thank you so much

I spelled out fatigue without an accent and it was marked wrong.  How do you do that?

A number of places are have a disputed status; in these cases would the form used vary with the opinion of the speaker? For instance, whilst Kwiziq states «au Québec» (as if it's a country), I can find «dans le Québec» being used.

Could someone manage to accidentally imply a particular opinion by using one form rather than another? (Presumably, this would apply more strongly to a less common form.)

(And in trying to find this out, I've discovered in/to Taiwan is «à Taïwan», following the rule for a city.)
