You're correct. Please report it, especially since the course is in beta.
That would be the literal English translation, as English is a language where word order matters. In Latin, the rules on word order are generally less strict, and words can sometimes have the same meaning if they are switched around in the sentence.
That should be accepted. Please report it, especially since the course is in beta.
This really should be "Quod" and not "quid". I know that Plautus used "quid," but Terence and many others after used "quod". It also makes more grammatical sense based on the classical era distinction between Quid and Quod (which obviously was after Plautus' time, but still forms the basis of our current conception of "correct" Latin grammar).
You will also notice many modern textbooks using "Quod" instead of "quid, for exactly these reasons.
Better? No.
Latin word order is fairly free and there are many right answers. One is not better than the other.
