My question is: when does one use 'juste' in front of 'au cas où' and when is 'au cas où' used by itself?

'Le fauteuil où je suis assis'I put dans lequel here and got that correct, but the other possible answer it put was 'où'. 'The armchair where I am sitting' sounds a bit weird to me, so could you please explain why 'où' can also be accepted as an answer? Thank you. I am assuming that 'où' can also mean 'in which' or something like that in addition to 'where'.

mettre vice porter

I am guessing that the verb "mettre" was chosen over "porter" because the latter had already been used twice; otherwise "porter" would have been an acceptable choice in "...toutes mes tenues de soirée en même temps. " Am I right?

omitted pronouns

There are two phrases - 'les chiens qui se sont frottés contre' and 'dont le style ne va plus du tout avec' where the final pronoun (for 'it') seem to have been dropped. Is there any general guidance about when and why this happens ? If you could include the pronouns in these clauses, what would they be ?
