....since it' not implied "brand new"

Taking Maarten’s sentence as a starting point “When 'on' can be replaced by the specific subject pronoun 'nous', adjectives agree with number and are therefore plural (only the past participle/adjective, not the auxiliary verb conjugation).”

My question is, assuming that we have decided to indeed follow the agreement rule, if the specific group that “on” refers to were all female, would the sentence then be “On était éberluées”? I.e. does the gender get reflected in the adjective in the same way that it would if we used “nous” and the group were all female (“nous étions éberluées”).

Correct answer given is with ‘nulle part’ at the end. No problem with that but what is wrong with ‘n’importe où’? I’ve looked at the discussions and can’t find a definitive explanation for appropriate use of one over the other. Doesn’t ‘nulle part’ mean nowhere rather than anywhere? Merci as ever for guidance.

I thought the following analysis by Google's Gemini was interesting.  

Le mot correct est "siècle".

Explication :

Voici quelques arguments supplémentaires pour justifier le choix du mot "siècle" :

Conclusion :

Le mot "siècle" est le choix correct dans cette phrase. Il est plus précis, plus élégant et plus cohérent avec le contexte que le mot "siècles".

Under “nous avons pu réinvestir les dons qui nous étaient parvenus”, the “voix passive” lesson is listed beneath it, and not the “plus que parfait” lesson. 

But isn’t it that case that this line is an example of plus que parfait, and not of voix passive?

This may seem like splitting hairs, but I find the listed lessons very useful even just from their titles, to guide my understanding of the grammar.
