Score 49 out of 60 is wrong. Score should be 59 out of 60

Hi,

Internet was slow, it took ages for posts to register. At least one of my entries did not register at all. I made only one mistake, 'auparavant" which l spelled with an e (auparavent). Some punctuation challenges. So, l had rated myself 59 out of 60, not 49 out of 60. How do l fix this?

“tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvais”

Should “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvais” be “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvaises” so that “mauvaises” agrees with “chaussettes”?

Thoughts regarding Topic Learnt Today

I learnt about the inverted question form and the inverted verb forms of quoi and how they work. Quoi becomes que or qu'. Additionally, I learnt about est-ce que and it uses the question word first and then the inverted verb and then the subject.

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?

"en dépit de" not acceptedAnd, despite herself, Katia started to hope.
My answer:
Et, en dépit d'elle, Katia commença à espérer.
Lawless answer:
Et, malgré elle, Katia commença à espérer.

I'm not sure why my answer was not accepted. Appreciate any insight. Thanks!

So is it with the passé compose or with the present? Confused :(

So the question was:

How would you say ''You haven't lived here long.'' ?

1. Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.

2. Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps.

3. Tu n'habitais pas ici depuis longtemps.

4. Tu ne vas pas habiter ici depuis longtemps.

So the instructions are that with negation depuis is in passe composé, so I picked the answer number 1, but in results this was wrong as they wanted present - answer number 2.

What gives?
