Answer 2

papier (paper): masculine (LE papier), singular

leçons (lessons): feminine (UNE leçon), plural since there's an S at the end.

musique (music): feminine (LA musique), singular

tableaux (boards/paintings): masculine (UN tableau), plural because of the X at the end

crayons (pencils): masculine (UN crayon), plural because of the S at the end

pendule (pendulum or clock): that's a tricky one! it's either masculine or feminine, depending on meaning. MASCULINE if you're talking about a weighted item at the end of a cord, FEMININE if you're talking about a clock. singular.

carte (map, card): feminine (UNE carte), singlular

lumières (lights): feminine (UNE lumière), plural because of the S at the end

These are all definitive answers, except for 'pendule', because it can be either masculine or feminine... depending on the context/meaning.
