Is "au courant" invariable, or does it agree with the gender and number of the person?

Can I say Qu'est instead of 

Why is it that when you want to say new before the consonants, you say 'nouveau' but when you want to say new hotel, you say "nouvel hotel" because 'h' is a not a vowel

Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly?  I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé".  The rule quite clearly states that the past participle should be modified to agree in number and gender though.  We is inherently plural, so shouldn't an "s" be added to the end?  Or am I missing something here?

Am I the only one who can't stop hearing a distinct v sound as in "Tu vas une idée, toi ?" ? I knew it didn't make sense to use aller in this context but I still can't help hearing the guy say 'vas'. 

The part of the recording beginning with "Elle adore..." up to " juste au moment..." is missing.

Line 9: The audio says "effeuillez d'abord les fleurs," 

.......but d'abord is crossed out as incorrect by kwiziq in my written response.

I used navré instead of désolé in this exercise. Is it fine?

Thank you

Why "qui venait à l'origine" followed by "a progressivement imprégné"  ?  I think the passe compose describes an event completed in the past.  Something that has taken place gradually is not a completed event.

Taking Maarten’s sentence as a starting point “When 'on' can be replaced by the specific subject pronoun 'nous', adjectives agree with number and are therefore plural (only the past participle/adjective, not the auxiliary verb conjugation).”

My question is, assuming that we have decided to indeed follow the agreement rule, if the specific group that “on” refers to were all female, would the sentence then be “On était éberluées”? I.e. does the gender get reflected in the adjective in the same way that it would if we used “nous” and the group were all female (“nous étions éberluées”).
