What's the difference between 'ceux' and 'lesquels' ?

I've heard that both ceux(and all of its forms) and lesquels(and all of its forms) means the one. So, how do you differentiate? For example: Eva aime mes biscuits mais déteste ceux de sa tante.

Why is 'en' used here?

Hello, do I understand correctly that en is used here because there are two object pronouns? Pierre m'en a offert.

Test Glitch

Hello! When I went through this question (very carefully), I noticed that 'une' was actually 'a', not 'the', so I missed it out. But, as the results came in, the test said that I had selected 'une', and that i didn't select the answer 'le'! What's happening?! I don't understand.

Joyeux Noël!

It's great that Christmas gets a mention in this lesson. However, in the 500+ tests I've done I don't remember a single question mentioning Christmas. There have been questions mentioning Aid, a fair few mentioning Hanukkah and loads mentioning Thanksgiving. Please add a few questions involving Christmas! I believe it's considered rather an important festival in the USA, as well as the UK and elsewhere.

Il a descendu le boulevard st michel

Why is this avoir? I appreciate the verb is followed by a noun but its no different to getting off a plane, in real terms. I seem to be finding this matter unusually difficult

image vs dessinI used the word "dessin" and it was marked incorrect and replaced with image. In the same text, in the next sentence, I used "image" and it was marked incorrect and replaced with dessin!

colors and genders

I don't understand why the sentence to translate talks about my favorite colors (couleur is feminine), but then the colors are listed in the masculine form. And, the "title" of the grammar point says that colors agree according to gender and number.
