Vous laissez tomber = You drop? Is that a valid alternative?

Could someone explain the phrase: "marechal des logis chef..." ? 

If he is the chief or boss shouldn't it read: "le chef du/de la/d'...." ?

Merci !

Could a sentence like "Pâques est la fête la deuxieme plus célébrée en France, après Noël" work?

Hi

I have a few questions regarding this exercise:

1. The phrase 'je me suis sentie méprisée' - I was a little confused about whether to make 'senti' or 'méprisé' agree with the female speaker.  In fact I got it wrong, as I see that both should agree.  Could you explain the rule, or do you have a lesson I could look at for this?

2. what is the meaning of 'de l'instrumentalisation du vote barrage'?

3. what is the meaning of 'voter blanc'?  I have a good idea but would be very interested to hear an explanation.

Thankyou once again, dudes of Lawless French for an interesting dictée, with some good new vocab.

Megan

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

Reference to A1 Test La Republique francais

Why is tout le monde correct but not chacun? Both are pronouns

In the phrase, "...il faut défendre ses opinions", why do the French use 'ses'?  I would have expected 'vos', i.e. it is necessary to defende YOUR opinions.  Is it simply the way the French express this allusion to others?

Why isn't it 'depouillement des votes'?

Why isn't 'une form d'identité' correct?

the statement was just je....... rentre, as there was nothing(chez,dansetc) after rentre i used avoir but it was wrong, so why is there sometimes nothing after rentrer when used with etre?please
