Why does this sentence use "en" instead of "dans"? I thought "You got into the car quickly" should be "Tu es monté dans la voiture rapidement." Is there a difference in meaning or can I use "en" and "dans" interchangeably to express getting into a car?
I understand that de + les = des, but is it more natural to use 'des' here, even though the 'les' is part of the title "Les Misérables"? The alternative correct answer was given as 'la petite fille dans "Les Misérables", which seems to preserve the title of the book.

Ils ________ demeuré à la campagne l'été dernier.They stayed in the countryside last summer.
For me, it is obvious that you should use "avoir" as "demeuré" does not agree in number with "ils". Perhaps if the subject pronoun were singular more care and thought would be required in deciding whether the verb is "être" or "avoir". Just a thought!
