    said (d), and devienne for the subj.
    Did anyone else notice the last word of the second comprehension :
    "rhabiller"
    typo?

    No, it's like putting 're' before 'habiller' meaning to dress, but because the 'h' is silent you knock off the 'e'. Rhabiller means to dress somebody up again (I'd say that comes up a lot...) or to renovate.

    If you feel an answer in both the comprehension and the listening comprehension is a few answers, if you write them down to you still get the marks.

    i think there was two 'prennent' and 'devienne'

    no prennent could be the present plural and the sobjontif plural, so it depends on the context. It doesnt look like its the sobjonif in the text.

    "À défaut de solutions
    toutes faites, certains se prennent à
    rêver"

    Thats present tense. answer was devienne.

    my comprehension aswers here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=56220549&postcount=141
