Can we say par avion as well as en avion?
Some of these sentences are a bit silly as in order to know whether a particular sentence requires a direct or an indirect object pronoun, I need to see more of the sentence. I'm getting marked down for things I can't see until the next slide.
Regarding the expression "sont servis", used in "Les plats froids sont servis avec une salade":
I don't understand this conjugation. Is this a reflexive form of the verb servir? Or is it just how menus are written?

Pour moi , cet article est très intéressant. Je ne savais pas que Il y a 29 pays où le Français est soit parlé. Autre curiosité que j'ai trouvé ce que au Viet Nam était une colonie française et que cette langue est parlé dans les relations diplomatiques comment aux Comores. Ici en Colombie le Français a devenu une langue populaire entre les jeunes colombien.
Each of these expressions are translated using 'du'. In English, both are possessive. In the first case, we are talking about a place, so I can rationalize the use of 'du' instead of 'de'. In the second case, I have more of a problem. It seems like a simple use of the possessive which I think would call for 'de' instead of 'du'. Can I get some guidance here? Thanks.
Sorry for this very small quibble - the above sentence from the microquiz isn’t idiomatic English and I can’t think when I would say it. Who is making "the noise", "that noise" or even "a noise" are possible.
How do I identify a masculine or feminine noun?
To be completely honest, I couldn't follow this lesson at all. Maybe it's just the way it was written but I found it almost impossible to actually comprehend what was being conveyed and I had to seek out other sources.
Thanks for everything you guys do! I usually love Kwiziq lessons, but I feel like this one needs a rethink.
