une pomme à cuire = a cooking apple jumps out to me as an odd one out. You wash with a washing machine, iron with an iron and sew with a sewing machine but the apple is the one being cooked here. Is this a peculiarity of edible things or does the French just work differently to English?

Why "qui venait à l'origine" followed by "a progressivement imprégné"  ?  I think the passe compose describes an event completed in the past.  Something that has taken place gradually is not a completed event.

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?

Why in "tu" form the conjugation changes "Regarde-lui", but not "Regardes-lui"?

Whereas in "nous" the ending is the same "Arretons-lui"

Line 9: The audio says "effeuillez d'abord les fleurs," 

.......but d'abord is crossed out as incorrect by kwiziq in my written response.

I used navré instead of désolé in this exercise. Is it fine?

Thank you

Why is there no "une" before "salle de bains" in this sentence: "Oui, une chambre double avec salle de bains privative."

Am I the only one who can't stop hearing a distinct v sound as in "Tu vas une idée, toi ?" ? I knew it didn't make sense to use aller in this context but I still can't help hearing the guy say 'vas'.
