1. The answer is true.

The sentence says: Diderot is a very well known French philosopher from the Age of Enlightenment. Diderot is best known for his literary reputation; one of his most famous works is "Jacques le fataliste" (Jacques the fatalist)

2. The answer is true.

The sentence says: Ideas from the Age of Enlightenment set the scene for the French Revolution. This is true, because the concept of the Republic, which came directly from philosophers during this time period, would eventually overthrow the monarchy existing in France at the time.

3. The answer is true.

The sentence says: A garden is outside the house. In this statement, it's important to know the word "jardin," which looks similar to "garden" if you change the "j" to "g." You can also guess that "extérieur" is close in meaning to "exterior" in English, or "outside."

4. The answer is false.
The sentence says: "La Marseillaise," the French national anthem, is about peace between the people and royalty. This is quite the opposite, actually. "La Marseillaise" is instead a revolutionary song.

5. The answer is false.
The sentence says: Guadeloupe and Madagascar are Caribbean islands. Although this is true for Guadeloupe, Madagascar is instead an African island. Both are French speaking. 

6. The correct answer is true.

The sentence says: "Les waters" is the same thing as "les toilettes." You can guess that "toilettes" refers to the bathroom, as does "waters." You can also say "WC" (but don't say "salle de bain," which refers instead to a room with a bathtub).

7. The answer is true. 

The sentence says: Louis XVI was king at the beginning of the French Revolution. Indeed, Louis XVI was an extravagant spender, much like his predecessors, adding to the unrest from common people that eventually sparked the revolution.

8. The answer is false.

The sentence says: Egypt didn't interest Napoleon very much. This is false, because Napoleon actually tried invading and conquering Egypt. His motives were to protect French trading with the country, while at the same time weakening British commerce.

9. The answer is false.

The sentence says: One sleeps in a cupboard. Instead, the sentence should read: On se couche dans un lit (which means "bed"). It is important to know the meanings of both "placard" and "se coucher" (this can be replaced with "dormir," which also means "to sleep").

10. The correct answer is true.

The sentence says: "Une armoire" and "un placard" are the same thing. As stated previously, "placard" means cupboard. Although "armoire" can signify "wardrobe," it also means "cabinet," which is interchangeable with a cupboard.

11. The correct answer is false.

The sentence says: One takes the staircase to go up to the ground floor. It is important to know the meaning of "rez-de-chaussée." Since this means "ground floor," you can't exactly go up to it.

12. The correct answer is false.

The sentence says: Napoleon I was the father of Napoleon III. This is false, because Napoleon III's father was Louis Napoleon, the younger brother of Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon I).
 
13. The answer is true.

While the verb "ennuyer" means "to bore," the reflexive verb (s'ennuyer) means to be bored. In this case, it is conjugated in the first person, so the reflexive part is "me" (which shortens to m' since the verb starts with a vowel).

14. The answer is false.

The sentence instead says: They are boring. Although the verb "ennuyer" means "to bore," the adjective "ennuyeux" means "boring." To say "They are bored," the sentence would instead have to read: Ils sont ennuyés.
