Phrasing choice mistakes

Hi, 

I made several errors with my phrasing choices and was wondering if any of the following could have been correct:

1. Shouldn't the prompt for " Et tu as trouvé ça difficile" be "and did you find that difficult?" - since it's referring to the reading of a book in french, not the book itself? Wouldn't the translation of "did you find it [the book] difficult? " be "Et tu l'as trouvé difficile?" 

 

 

2. It was quite difficult and daunting at times - Could you use bien instead of plutôt/assez to mean quite?

3. Could you said "je compte desormais lire un livre en français plusieurs fois par an."?

 

Thanks!

When to use articles for job titles?

I understand that one would say 'Je suis avocat(e)'; if referring to a he/she/they, does this require 'le'/'la'/'un'/une'??

Euphonic le?

Hi, in “d'où l'on pouvait admirer la vallée du Rouvres en contrebas,” is the “l’” in “l’on” purely for euphonics (i.e. it carries no meaning)?

Question about sentence. J'adorerais que l'on puisse se téléporter - in this sentence, why are we using 'l'' with 'l'on'? is that just to make it easier to speak? or does it have meaning? and if so how do I know when to use it?

Why isn't the answer feminine?Tu es allée au cinéma après ________ pour ton exam. You went to the cinema after studying for your exam.(HINT: Use "réviser")
I answered "avoir révisée" because "tu es allée" tells me tu is feminine but the correct answer given is "avoir revise".
