Why dans le and not en

I don’t understand why it’s « Je vais __dans le______ Merseyside la semaine prochaine. »

Merseyside ends with an « e » so should be feminine and use « en. »

Your flowers have known better days.

J'ai utilisé **ont connait** pour have known

Mais la réponse correcte a été **ont connu** (knew)

Vos fleurs ont connu de meilleurs jours" - You flowers **knew**better days?

Pourquoi on utilisé le PC ici? Plus que parfait pour **have known**

Struggling with the English side of the exercises

I get that plusieurs represents a greater quantity than quelqu'un, but I'm struggling with the exercises because I can't keep track of whether they expect a few to represent a greater quantity than several or vice versa.

At least in the English I speak, the difference between these two words is subtle and comes down to feeling more than quantity.

Is there some other way to structure the exercises that doesn't rely on making novel (or at least regional) distinctions in English?

I stumbled across a French grammar exercise and I don't understand the solution. "Tu as appelé tes parents? Oui, je leur ai téléphoné ce matin." I thought that we always used COD with appeler quelqu'un, so is there a mistake or what is the exception? Why is this not the case here?
