Could anybody help me with the form of the word: 'cochant'?

I have learned third person plural conjugation is cochent, but this word 'cochant' I couldn't find in a dictionary. 

As you know, cocher is infinitive form of verb but what about cochant? Please!

The original context: "Répondez aux questions en cochant la ou less bonne response."

Please help me!

Is there some reason to use one or the other? It seems to me that there needs to be an object for ¨adorer¨...?

Is the word “alors” necessary in the “a alors demandé Martine”? 

If : Je l'y retrouverai plus tard.

is this : I'll meet him/her there later.

should be : Je l'y lui donnerai plus tard ?

or : Je le lui donnerai là plus tard

Please explain why one is correct and the other is not.

Would you use "et" for numbers over 100 (e.g. 101, 201, 1001, etc.)?

Cent un, or cent et un, or cent-et-un?

Thank you for your help. 

"Pronunciation Note: 

Does that mean that the final -s is always pronounced if the meaning is positive? Is that how French people distinguish between 1) J'ai plus du temps and 2) J'ai plus de temps (where 2 is really Je n'ai plus de temps with the ne omitted as it often is in conversation). How do native French listeners tell the difference?

The title holds the right answer. If I was speaking to a native French speaker and spoke this wrong answer - Si tu vas ou pas, ça ne change rien - would the French speaker understand but think to him/herself “tsk tsk such poor grammar”, or would my selection be incomprehensible? Actually, I have a similar question - two birds, one stone - regarding the use of ‘passé simple’ as opposed to ‘passé composé’: is there a simple rule which tells one which is the appropriate choice when?

The following sentence has the verb following 'que'. Is this OK?  

C'est ainsi que se termine cette histoire.That's how this story ends.
Shouldn't it be:C'est ainsi que cette histoire se termine.
