Why was the Imperfect tense used in this exercise?  How do I recognise when it should be used?

Pourquoi avez-vous utilisé le dans l'expression "pour le goûter" et pas la, alors qu'il s'agit de la tarte, qui est un mot féminin ?

In the sentence "Au final, ce que je préfère avec la Saint-Valentin, c'est trouver les chocolats à prix réduit que l'on peut acheter en général le 15 février dans les magasins !" what is the purpose of the "l'" before on? Merci !

I am still trying to figure out when to use "de" vs du or de la. In the sentence "qui a servi de résidence papal....." Why is it not "de la" as this seems to be a very specific thing and not a general category.

Thanks in advance

Cutting marks for the conjugation marks seems un peu de trop !

It is very helpful to have a list of specific french words or phases that will feature in the following text.  However, it would be even more helpful if these words and phases were also spoken in advance so that one can tune into them when they arise in the piece.   

Selon un etude....parleraient ,  je le comprends

Mais why does it say , un peu plus tard Dan  cette phrase, "la meme etude....'a' le plus grandre nombre."  Il ne devrait pas plutot dire "ait" or est ce car le phrase dit "a decouvert"  donc it is certain so not conditionnel

je chérirai toujours la nuit... why we use futur simple of chérir here?

How can I re-take the placement test? My computer glitched the first time, & I submitted the test by accident, so I am actually at a much higher level than what they are suggesting. Help!
