Adverbial EN in Passé Composé

Are they correct depending on whether 'en' means it (singular) or them (plural)?

1. Pierre m'en a offert. / Pierre m'en a offerte. [Pierre offered some of it/them to me.](If COD/Direct Object - 'en' - it/them)

2. J'ai mangé des chocolats. --> J'en ai mangés. [I ate them.]

Are agreement rules applicable in Passé Composé for 'en' when it is a Direct Object Pronoun ?

Extra connecting word in audio?

Hi, in the line “nous avons développé des intérêts communs” I believe I’m hearing a short connecting word/syllable between “intérêts” and “communs”. Am I imagining this?

"They leave work at 7pm."

Why quitter is correct answer, but not sortir ?

I found an example in the lesson where sortir is used to describe a personne leaving work at 19h

I don't understand why "Pour être riche, il faut avoir beaucoup d'argent" is wrong? Any ideas, please.

“Tu es apparue comme un ange”

For this to be correct, doesn’t the subject have to be female? I answered that only “Tu as apparu comme un ange” was the only correct answer because I couldn’t assume that the sub just was female
