Please could someone explain the use of "se tenir debut" to mean "stood" in the first example? 

Thanks

Should this not be :

Ce fil est apparent, mais apparemment personne ne l'a pas remarqué.

To add a pas?

According to the rule analysis, using en for feminine countries and a for masculine countries, why is the correct answer for the question "la?"  Je vais visiter la France cet ete.  Should the sentence not be Je vais visiter en France?

My dictionaries show les soldes as masculine. Is either correct?

What is the conjugation of two derivatives of "venir", "parvenir" and "convenir" in Le Passé Composé?
