l'homme avec un couteau qui était tapi derrière le fauteuil familier de la femme / the man with a knife who was crouching behind the woman's familiar armchair

An alternative correct answer to the above was "...qui tapissait derrière..."

In that case, shouldn't (my answer) "...qui s'accroupissait derrière...' also be acceptable? 

The lesson re the above clearly states that “If it/ he/ she is followed by a determinant you will use c’est.” Why then, after taking Lucie’s temperature does the doctor say,  “ Elle est un peu élevée” and when taking her blood pressure, “Elle est un peu basse”? I can understand why he would say “Elle est élevée” or “Elle est basse” but surely the given answer contradicts the rule.

Je n'entends pas ont dans le phrase, Mes amis ont honte de leur comportement. 

If I remind you of your nanny is 'Je vous rappelle votre nounou.' What is 'I remind your nanny of you'? Is it 'Je rappelle vous à votre nounou' but I don't think this is correct!

I cannot quite figure out why the verb 'remplir' is in the form 'remplis'. Is it because 'remplis' is used as an adjective?

 In this sentence - I can hear "impatient" - without the e.

Could "elle s'y est installée" be used to translate "she moved there"?

I used revenir for "coming home". Is this wrong? And when should we use each verb?

Thanks.

PS it's almost impossible to do À - it changes to à

Why "au praliné" and not "au praline"?

Why does he switch from je to on?  There is no hint, up to that point, that he will be going with others.
