A real challenge

I did miserably on this exercise. Seems that in progressing from B1 to B2 one faces quite a chasm. Without a bridge.

Use of de

Are there any other times apart from the negative (saying you don’t have any), when de is used eg d’huile, de pan. I know we say de also before plural nouns with an adjectives preceding the noun

Ne pas plus

'Il a honte de ne pas plus aider les gens.' I don't understand the use of 'ne pas plus' in the sentence. Shouldn't it be 'ne plus'?

passe compose vs imparfaitApparently a lot of people are having problems with these two tenses in this exercise. Even experts (C1) differ in opinion. Maybe there is no absolutely correct usage.

Referencing multiple days.

I can’t find how to reference multiple days together, is there an example?

“On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I get up at 6.” which of the following is correct?

Le lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures

Les lundi, mercredi et vendredi je me lève à six heures

Le lundi, le mercredi et le vendredi je me lève à six heures

Thanks

Jon

Very small punctuation error

In the French written answer there should be a full stop instead of a comma in the line “Bien sûr Madame, On vous apporte ça tout de suite”. The corresponding line in English has a full stop. Thanks.

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.
