"Quels/Quelles sont les danseuses engagées?" 

I answered "Quels" as it was unclear if the dancers were male/female or both.  I was marked incorrect.  Was that because of an incorrect assumption on my part ( that all dancers are female) or was there another reason?

thanks for your guidance,

Bonjour Madame Cécile,

I am facing a difficulty in forming the negative of the following sentence-

"J'aime jouer du piano et de la guitare"

Now, the negative would be as-

"Je n'aime jouer ni du piano ni de la guitare."

Here, will the articles du and de la remain or will they get removed? Because in the lesson it is stated that All articles except the definite articles will be omitted.

But I think jouer du piano and jouer de la guitare are fixed expressions in French so there should be no change in their structure.

Please confirm Madame.

Merci d'avance 

"What are we going to make his eyes and nose with?" Martine then asked. This was translated: "Avec quoi va-t-on faire ses yeux et son nez?" a alors demandé Martine.

I used: "Qu'est-ce qu'on va utiliser pour lui faire ses yeux et son nez?" Martine a ensuite demandé.

Would that also be acceptable?

for translating the phrase, "who had been waiting for the snow...the correct answer used the imparfait. Wouldn't that be translated as was waiting? (Rather than had been waiting)
