Bonjour Jessica,
Thanks for letting us know about this. You're absolutely right, this is a B1 exercise - I don't know how it got mislabeled to a lower level but it's fixed now.
We do have A1 and A2 exercises: https://french.kwiziq.com/learn/reading

Bonjour Madame,
There is a line in this comprehension as - “Ça n’entraîne pas des frais très très importants.”
Should it not be ‘de’ ? I am taught that whenever negative comes, then indefinite article ‘des’ changes to ‘de’. Being a beginner, I may be incorrect . Please provide further clarification.
Bonne journée !
Hi Varsha,
You can actually say both “ .....pas des/de frais très très importants” here.
I am not aware there is a particular reason as the verb is not ‘être’ or a verb of state.
You would have to say for instance:
“ Ce ne sont pas des leçons très difficiles” you cannot say ‘de’ in that case.
Here is the lesson pertinent to that subject -

Hope this helps!
