Why is "Il est dix-heures du matin" incorrect?

Why is this correct?  Isn't "quel, quelle etc." only for things? and while Les filles à qui je pense sont géniales is correct is there a difference in meaning between the two?

Dear Aurélie,

These writing exercises are a true exercise in humility.  I test in the 90's for C1 grammar but I consistently fail (often get less than 50%) in the writing exercises.  It took me over a year to accept this - I always would find my performance very disappointing and avoided the exercises (tip to others: don't avoid.  They will improve your French, painfully and slowly in my case).  The writing exercises  are excellent and introduce a wide variety of expressions and of contexts, but perhaps students should be forewarned that one's grammar level on Kwiziq will be higher than one's performance on the translation/writing exercises.  

How would you rank the above-mentioned 5 alternatives in order to ask someone politely to do something?

For example:

1. Veuillez laisser un message.

2. Laissez un message.

3. Laisser/ez un message, s'il vous plaît.

4. Merci de laisser un message.

5. Nous vous invitons à laisser un message.

Having just looked at another lesson on stress pronouns I thought in this case the stress pronoun came second: Tes amis et toi...???

How would I say "Someone you can trust." ? 

Quelqu'un on peut faire confiance ?

Is there any similarity in use between se rappeler and the English word recall? In other words, is it the case that a sentence in French using 'se rappeler' would be better translated using the word 'recall' than 'remember'?
