-DIr is normally used for stating encyclopedic facts or strong assumptions. This is neither of those things, so no. :)

I think yes, but the multiple-choice offering with "bence" used "şu" ("that") instead of "bu" ("this") and hence was incorrect for a different reason.

I wonder if it's the same idea in English. While we would say, "This man is handsome," and not "This male is handsome," occasionally, we will use "male" but only in specific, clinic-like contexts: "Two males were apprehended after the robbery," Police Chief Johnson said. Or, "How many males and how many females are in the nursing class?" I'm thinking that "adam" (man) and "erkek" (male) are similarly used. Ne diyorsunuz, Turkish experts?
You got it :) "erkek" is commonly used when you have a sentence with "kadın" or when you really want to stress gender.
"In my opinion, this man is handsome." Translation: Bana göre bu adam yakışıklı.
Or: Onca bu adam yakışıklı. (Correct other answer)
"Onca bu kız çok güzeldir" - In my opinion, this girl is very beautiful.
Onca - In his or her opinion.
(Adverb) Onca
in his/her/its opinion
