Note on the English "I anger"

Thank you! Just a note on the English: it's more idiomatic/natural to say "I get angry easily" (or even in this context "I get annoyed easily"), at least here in the UK.

Où vs Pendant Laquelle vs Dans Laquelle

This discussion has me confused- it seems contradictory. The question was L'année ______ Napoléon a été sacré empereur. I knew that 'où' would be correct, but from comments in the thread it stated that 'pendant laquelle' would also be correct. So I tried that but it was marked wrong. I'm also confused as to whether 'dans laquelle' would be ok. There are comments in the thread that imply it is ok, but others that it "doesn't sound right". Can someone clarify? Thanks

Ces histoires ? ______________n'est fiable. (These stories? None is reliable)

Hi, In the above lessons we are led to believe that "accun(e) d'entre ils/elles is interchangeable with aucun(e) ne/n'. Yet I am marked incorrect with this question: Ces histoires ? Aucune d'entre elles n'est fiable. It says the answer is Aucune. Can someone please enlighten me?

where to put "prochain/e"

Hello,
How do you determine when "prochain/e" goes before vs after the noun? I remember reading in one lesson that it goes after the noun (for example, "le weekend prochain" or "l'hiver prochain") but in this exercise it goes before the noun "les prochaines vacances."

Why is there no article in "ces héros ont souffert de discrimination"?

I would have thought (and did!) that it should be "ces héros ont souffert de la discrimination" rather than "ces héros ont souffert de discrimination"; in the same way that "ces héros ont subi de la discrimination" was noted as a correct answer.

Is there something specific to "souffrir de" that causes the article to be dropped?
