Art plastique v.s. Dessin

What is the difference between the two? Do they refer to different types of art? Are they used in different contexts? Is one more common than the other?

Pourquoi de onze pas d’onze?La Fausse des Mariannes est profonde de onze kilomètres.

This answer was said to be correct however I had not ticked it because I thought « de onze » was incorrect. Why isn’t it « d’onze » ?

Je m’en veux mais il n’y a rien que je puisse faire pour y échapper.Hello. In your Week 35 B2 writing test, the above phrase triggers the subjunctive. It translates as: "I feel bad about it, but there's nothing that I can do to get out of it!" I suspect that it may be the emotion "I feel bad ... that" that triggers the subjunctive, because no desire or need is shown. However I'd be very grateful for any further help with this (extremely idiomatic) phrase! Thank-you

Dimanche, .... ou Le dimanche, .... ?

In the correction list offered, I was surprised to see "Le dimanche".

Is there a particular reason why this is correct here since the text implies only the one Sunday, not all Sundays?

Suggestion to improve the lessonI assume the reason this topic was recommended is because I chose to use l'imparfait instead of passé composé. This lesson would be better if it provided more information about when to use passé composé over l'imparfait. Although examples are good, I don't think samples are not sufficient to cover usage.
