what is the plural of le crayon in french

this was my first C1 dictée. I have done all the B2 and B1 dictées so many times- but this is too difficult!

In the last sentence, I can hear montrer, not rentrer. Is it possible?

Il rappelle son ex à Maria -> He reminds Maria of her ex.

Do we know here  that it's Maria's ex rather than his ex? If we do, then how would we say his ex?

From the lesson «When talking about two actions that happen simultaneously, you will use : 

en + Participe présent / Gérondif»; can you not also use imparfait and passé composé eg Je courait quand j'ai rencontré Mathilde ?  I am not suggesting the same meaning or English translation, but the sentence still describes the simultaneous occurrence of events, that could also be described using le gérondif. If that is correct, the quote from the lesson should replace 'will use' with 'can use' (and preferably reference the lesson on passé composé and imparfait being used together as another). If there are reasons to choose one over the other, worth noting as well.

Can you explain why, in the sentence "quand j'ai envie de viande", we do not have a future tense after quand?  Thank you.

Nous réfléchissons au futur. Tu ________ réfléchis aussi?

La bonne réponse est ''y'' , mais est-ce que c'est correct si je dit: Tu le réfléchis aussi ? Ou : Tu l'aussi ?

Why use "on" to say " we" drank, we took etc.
