#1 is your answer, which does not have the apostrophe between "qui and il". You said this was correct. My answer #2 has the appropriate contraction "qu'il est", but you marked it wrong. Why?

Here it s again... your answer is wrong
This question relates to:French lesson "Using [preposition] + qui/lequel/laquelle/etc = on what/behind whom/beside which/etc (French Relative Pronouns)"
Asked 9 hours ago
Wanda,
‘ qui ‘ does not ever contract, there is no elision of qui with a following word. The answer marked as being correct is the correct answer.
From the first lesson linked below :
“ ATTENTION:
Qui never becomes qu' in front of a vowel or mute h: only the letter e can be omitted for pronunciation in this case! “
Qui = Who/which/that (French Relative Pronouns)
And also worth reading for further discussion of elision
