Que est cet homme? C'est Marc Dupre.
This is a test question. Why is this not "Il est Marc Dupre!"? It seems to be a very specific prementioned thing. It is not case 1. Is it really case 2a?
This question relates to:French lesson ""C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French"

I agree with your reasoning on this, a named person is quite specific.

Hi Thomas, I think that was a typo is it should be "QUI est cet homme?"
With people, it's the first rule that applies. The second rule is applicable to things.
I hope that helps, Gruff.
