"Followed by" is habitually rendered as "suivi de". Does the "de" always change to "par" in the passive construction? If so, this is worth spelling out in the lesson.

Definite vs possessive with clothingI was wondering if there's any rule as to when to use definite articles vs possessive adjectives with clothing? It seems like you use possessive adjectives for some things (mon pantalon, sa robe) but definite articles for others (les poches)?

Along the lines of the "ce que" versus "quel" question...Along the lines of the "ce que" versus "que" question, must the question "Ce qui fait peur ici?" always begin with "ce que" because the answer is unknown (not mentioned previously?) even though it refers to a noun and not a phrase/sentence? If so, when can a question begin with Quel? Only if the answer was already mentioned?
