Is the word “alors” necessary in the “a alors demandé Martine”? 

In the answers to "and equality also means freedom", it seems as if "l'égalité" and "la liberté" can be used in place of "égalité" and "liberté".

Does this mean that if you use "l'égailté" that you should also use "la liberté", or if you use "égalité" you should use "liberté"? Or is there some subtlety with the verb chosen that would require the use of an article?

Quand le soleil retourne....

Is it correct to say "Il a encore besoin des oiseaux?  

Also, is it correct to say "De quoi est-ce Catherine a besoin?

Aren't we using indirect object with "refuser?" Why do we use "nous" here in the second sentence? Merci!
