are both ok?

The hint that is given first has cinque with lowercase, but when I used that I got it wrong. 

How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.

I cannot quite figure out why the verb 'remplir' is in the form 'remplis'. Is it because 'remplis' is used as an adjective?

Would 'doué' have been as good as 'talentueux' here?

It would be so helpful if we could slow down the reading of the test and to repeat a phrase

Bonjour, 

We know that indefinite articles "un/une/des" become "de" in negative form with the exception of verb être and verbs of states. But, does this rule also apply to the negative of interrogative sentence? 

For example: 

Il mange une pomme. -> Il ne mange pas de pomme. 

Is the following also true? 

Est-ce qu'il mange une pomme ? -> Est-ce qu'il ne mange pas de pomme ? and 

Mange-t-il une pomme ? -> Ne mange-t-il pas de pomme ? 

I didn't find any reference about negative interrogative and indefinite articles so have to ask to clear my doubt. Also, please confirm the case with negative interrogative and partitive articles. 

merci beaucoup. 

I notice that the preferred translation of 'which makes him the first Frenchman to be in charge of the ISS' is 'ce qui fait de lui le premier Français en charge de la SSI' rather than 'ce qui en fait le premier ...'. All the grammar books I look at say that en can stand for 'de' plus a person - but I can see that in practice 'en fait' for 'makes him' is almost never said in French. Is it just too literary for this kind of phrase?
