when would it be soit d'argent and when soit de l'argent

and why please

I used "la chapelure." for breadcrumbs which was marked as incorrect. The exercise wanted "les miettes de pain". According to the dictionary I used, both are correct. Can anyone clarify? Thanks

Can one use ‘écarter les bras’ as an alternative to ‘ouvrer les bras’?

Est-ce qu'il y a une différence entre les mots "entretien" et "entrevue" ? Merci. 

Following on from Frank's question, in the passage:

 "...j'ai noté toutes ces bonnes idées", 

how does one know if it's those (ces) or your (ses) good ideas ?

I thought name days were always masculine. Why not here?

Is the ¨s¨ always pronounced in this usage (i.e. ¨plus que¨, ¨plus ... que¨), or are there some conditions for when it is and is not pronounced (i.e. ¨plu que¨)? 

(This may be covered in another lesson, but might be a useful tip for this lesson)

I don’t understand why you say ” Mais je n’avais pas LE choix”, but (I google translated this, as I first thought you were wrong here) "Je n’avais pas DE choix" 

Please explain as I’m learning on my own and have no teacher to ask. I don’t even get where to look in the grammar for this.
