Pronounciation of moins extraverti

Bonjour. I notice that the 's' of moins is not pronounced even though a vowel follows. Is this just a rule, that you don't 'faire la liaison' with the word 'moins'?

les professeurs ou mes professeurs

Similar to the question previously from Frank on 'choose a/my career' (and as G noted in his response), the English to be translated is "I found teachers fascinating" but only 'mes professeurs' is accepted. Either the English should be changed to 'my teachers' or "les professeurs" added to the accepted translation.

Participle agreement

In the phrase 'une sensation de liberté telle qu'elle n'en avait jamais ressenti' why is ressenti not feminine ?

(Also, does the 'en' stand for anything grammatical or is it idiomatic?)

The sentence to be translated:

And then, after taking a deep breath,

The correct response given is:

Et là, après avoir respiré un grand coup

Why is là used? I wanted to use puis but it wasn’t given as an option.

Would puis work?

Passé composé vs ImparfaitStéphane est arrivé à l'heure à l'école

vs

Tu étais en retard ce matin!

Hello!

Why use PC in the first sentence and then IMP in the second? Why were these tenses used?
