How can I get this topic to stop popping up in quizzes and suggested lessons

I am unlikely to ever need to speak about provinces, nor do I care to know minor details such as how English counties in particular are treated. I am deeply dismayed by being forced to study this when there are so many more essential things I need to learn. How can I pause or snooze an unimportant topic in order to move onto things I need to learn?

In the audio for Ils ont honte de leur notes. I can’t hear ont and honte as separate words. Are they pronounced the same?

Why LE instead of DE in Manquer deThe correct answer is posted as “

J'ai manqué le concert de Michael Jackson en 1992 à Paris.” But the lesson says you don’t need partitive pronoun when meaning lack/missing something but you need DE. So why is it “J’ai manqué le concert’ not “J’ai manqué de concert”? Thanks.
