Preposition 'Pour' (for) with Indirect Object Pronouns

https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/glossary/pronoun-type/pronoms-d-objet-indirect-indirect-object-pronouns

This link says that an Indirect Object Pronoun can also be introduced by the preposition pour (for). But I can find only examples with preposition ' à (to)' ...Can you please share a few examples of Indirect Object Pronouns with preposition pour; can't find them in this lesson and other Indirect Object related lessons.

Il adorait ces réunions. Je pense que tu devrais commencer avec "eux"? Question on pronoun used after avec

Does "avec eux" refer back to "réunions"? If so, shouldn't you use avec "elles"? Also, Je suis sûre qu'"elles" (meetups) pourront t'aider...

montait vs montrait

For The exhibition also showed the history of the place, I put, L'exhibition montait également l'histoire du lieu, whereas the correction told me it was L'exposition montrait également l'histoire du lieu. Doesn't the extra 'r' indicate 'would show' rather than "showed"?

Why the accent grave on à ?

Why is it "J'ai du mal à (verb)", instead of "J'ai du mal a (verb)"?

I only know we use it for locations, such as "Je suis à Paris"

Audio incomplete

My audio stops at privilégiés and the rest of the sentence is absent. The play button is not on pause but rather play. If I select play, the recording starts again from the top.

At vs in

Whilst "dans" obviously translates to "in" - I would never say I'm going to stay in this hotel in English; I would say that I'm going to stay at a this hotel in English.

However, I was marked incorrect.
