The quiz results marked me wrong but I had the correct answer. How do I notify someone?

Hi It seems a spelling mistake with the below statement "L'épicier pèse les légumes, puis nous les repesons" I dont thing an verb have "repesons" as it's conjugation, please clarify.

Are L'accord vs l'entente equivalent for agreement?

I am confused by how these words are used. In the Reader above the second paragraph begins: Pour commencer, j'espère de tout cœre qu'il fera beau.....Why is ce qu'ilnot used?

When I buy cat food for my (many) cats, many of the products are translated into French. What I have seen written by manufacturers almost exclusively for dry cat food  is “nourriture sèche pour chats.” That said, what I think you’re trying to teach us is the more colloquial term, as the English might say “crunchies” and we Americans might say “kibble;” hence, “les croquettes.” Am I correct in that neither is wrong?  (FYI, I am checking with two friends of mine who live in France who are cat breeders. I am curious to see what they say.)

Why is it "d'une" and "de boire" ?

Hello:  I understand the rule being explained here and am pretty comfortable using it.  But I'm struggling with the English explanation/translation in the title of the lesson, specifically the term "Cause for," as in "Pour (+être) allé = Cause for going/having gone" - can anyone help explain?   I'm trying not to overthink it, but my inability to understand the principle being articulated here is now making me doubt my previous intuitive understanding of this construction, lol.  Thanks in advance for any insights!

Elles ne connaitront jamais mon secret is the given answer. Why will savoir in the future not do? Various dictionaries suggest they are equivalent for this kind of statement.

In this example, "You are leaving next Tuesday, aren't you", the correct answer used the present tense to indicate immediate future, but next Tuesday is not the immediate future.  What is the cut-off?  A week? A month? It varies?
