Why can’t we use on traverserait de la Guadeloupe.... in stead of on passer de la Guadeloupe?

Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux. 

This was the answer. Why doesn't "brossé" end in "s"?

Is "demie" feminine form (with the "e") because heure is feminine?  Merci.

Penultimate prompt is in fact for the last sentence.

J'habite aux Saudi Arabie. C'est vrai? 

In the sentence "Nous faisons de progrès ensemble." Could one say "On fait de progrès ensemble"?

In the sentence, encountered in a novel:

Il ouvrait un petit bar, y prenait une bouteille et deux verres.

Why "y"?  This seems to be a perfect example of "de plus location", as he is taking the bottle from a place.

Can someone elucidate, please"

Much obliged!

Can I use "la fillette" instead of "la petite fille"?
