Can't we just say 'le prochain'?

The question:

Jeudi, elle a un rendez-vous. Tu veux dire ce jeudi ou ________ ?
I filled in 'le prochain', but was marked as wrong. I get that Kwiziq is trying to teach this lesson in particular but doesn't this also work?

Thanks

Merci pour cette information. Une Française a essayé de m'expliquer les « règles » concernant la coupe du fromage, mais pas avec autant de détails !

I'm confused with this sentence. 'Elle ne le sait pas encore!' Should it not read as 'Elle ne la sait pas encore!' many thanks for your help.

ça vs il or elle

why is 'ça' used to refer to 'le recyclage' and not 'il'? Like 'Il réduit la pollution' for instance or 'il limite des déchets'?

Use of present in last sentence?

"Espérons qu'ils gagnent une autre médaille d'or". Is not the intent to wish for a future happening? So saying "Let's hope that they will win another gold medal" is correct? "Espérons qu'ils gagneront une autre médaille d'or". ??

plural subject pronoun, object body part singular?

Plural subject (nous), a single (non-paired) body part for each person: why the singular for the body parts (la tête) and not plural? "Nous nous grattons la tête"

De peur que + a negative clause with subjunctive?

All the examples of the use of "De peur que..." are followed the use of the "ne explitif+ the subjunctive"

"Il ne voulait pas te le dire de peur que tu n'aies raison" He didn't want to tell you out of fear that you'd be right"

I assume that when "De peur que..." is followed by a possible negative result, the subjunctive is still used:

"Il ne voulait pas te le dire de peur que tu ne sois pas surpris." He didn't want to tell you out of fear that you wouldn't be surprised.

(Apologies if there is a lesson on the use of "De peur que + the subjunctive", I don't see a link here and I didn't find one listed under lessons.)

As always,

Merci beaucoup,

Hilary
