Hi
Why is the test answer as follows: Je prends cette rue en dépit du panneau stop instead of en dépit de panneau stop? I couldn't see any explanations for this on the lesson, I could on see du used in the exception en dépit du bon sense.
Thanks

Le rose va à ma sœur. Pink suits my sister. To say “Pink suits her”. Would it be: Le rose la va. I base this on the quiz... Ces chassures nous vont. (Correct). Ces chassures vont á nous. (Incorrect)
Why is it à acheter?
I would say "de acheter". Is this also okay?
The lesson states that « que » always follows « Je trouve » yet « Je trouve que Halloween est... » is given as a right answer.
I am puzzled by "tout oppose le" in the following announcement.
À l’occasion des élections européennes, le 26 mai, deux philosophes sont têtes de liste. De l’accueil des réfugiés à la gestation pour autrui (GPA), tout oppose le Français François-Xavier Bellamy et le Belge Laurent de Sutter qui se lancent en politique sans rien renier de leurs convictions métaphysiques.
The first sentence is clear. The second sentence mentions (1) the questions of the refugees and surrogacy, and (2) Bellamy and de Sutter who are entering politics, etc. But I do not understand how "tout oppose le" links (1) and (2). Does it mean Bellamy and de Sutter are opposed to (1)? If so, what is the "le" doing there? I can't work out the meaning here. Any help would be much appreciated.
J'habite aux Saudi Arabie. C'est vrai?
I thought that in french, nouns must always have direct or indirect articles. But in the last sentence of this exercice, "cuillère et fourchette" aren't given any.
