La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________respecter les limites.
To me, this is saying that we should be respecting the limits of “freedom of expression,” not the limits “of expression.” So shouldn’t the correct pronoun be “la” to reference “la liberté d'expression”? Thanks for helping me to understand this.

Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse !
Normally when you explain how a verb works, you give examples of every ‘person’ - 1st, 2nd & 3rd in both singular and plural. In this example you have not listed the 3rd person plural and I think it might be an oversight: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/tests/results/18797378/system?quick-lesson-popup=2
When to use ‘je me sens’ and when ‘je sens’! The question was "Je ne sens rien." can mean?: and one correct answer was 'I don’t feel anything'. I thought that was incorrect as ‘me’ was needed for ‘feel' , but seemingly not, so when is it? Couldf someone explain please?
I translated this as ' il fallut donc qu'elle affiche son statut de veuve' Was this incorrect as it wasn't given as an option.
Thanks
