-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.
