regarding sentir: I have no idea what the difference would be between: "I smell smoke." vs "I smell of smoke" (because I just stoked the wood stove, for example).

is the given example.

Why is that preferable to 
 Où allez-vous cette année?

Why is the word order "Quelle rare connexion" and not "Quelle connexion rare" ?

For the quiz question whose meaning in English was given as 'I see [some] girls.

I answered:  Je vois quelques filles - which was marked incorrect.   'Je vois des filles' was the correct answer provided.

Was my translation incorrect ?    I asked an AI engine the difference - the difference it provided was subtle and both seem correct given the lack of specificity in the question.     

I understood that choisir took de when followed by a verb, not à

Oddly WRF and Larousse don't offer an opinion, but if you ask the internet it is clear that de is correct.

Which of the conjugations of s'asseoir is the most commonly used?

I get that with a precise number, it should be "personnes", e.g. "cent / milles personnes" . However, what if I use "centaine" or "millier"? Can I say, "une centaine / un millier de gens", or does it still have to be "personnes"  ?

Merci

I do not understand the last sentence.  Why use the third person singular with "nous"?  Or should this be "on" not "nous"?

In a recent Kwizbot about the article with days of the week/weekend, an example was given « Ce weekend, on est allés au Futuroscope ». Why is the past particle plural?  « We » is implied but the subject is « on ».
