Is there any way of stopping Kwiziq testing me on specific questions?

I keep getting asked a question that I know I have no intention of answering.. I don't answer it so it keeps getting asked.. .. and asked..... is there any way of telling Kwiziq not to ask me again?.. and, presumably, it is marking me down for my failure to answer.

Would it be wrong to say "ramasser les couillages" instead of "collectionner les coquillages"?

Is "en" really needed with "un autre"?

One of the examples given here is "Mon stylo s'est cassé alors j'en ai acheté un autre".

It seems to me that "Mon stylo s'est cassé alors j'ai acheté un autre" would work just as well, because "un autre" implies "un stylo". So would the second version (i.e. without "en") be: a) OK; b) clumsy; or c) just plain wrong?

Thanks

Use of 'auxquelles'

salut forum et les experts

Je ne comprends pas l'utilisation de 'auxquelles' dans la phrase suivante 'Cette terre fertile produit de nombreuses gourmandises: olives, lavande, vignes, truffes, abricots, auxquelles il est très difficile de résister'

Pour quoi je ne pourrais pas également dire 'Cette terre fertile produit de nombreuses gourmandises: olives, lavande, vignes, truffes, abricots, qui sont très difficile de résister' ?

dans vs en

Since the reference to the laboratory is general, why is it not en laboratoire? In the lesson being dans la classe is specific but en classe is general....

ne pas

Why, in “Nous courons pour ne pas manquer notre train.”, do we have “ne pas manquer” and not “ne manquer pas”? I didn’t know that “ne pas” is valid.

Un Œdipien Complexe

I’m confused as to why I got an example wrong. The example was “un œdipien complexe” which the quiz labelled as an incorrect placement of the adjective. It is my understanding that œdipien is the noun and complexe is the adjective. None of these fall under the common exceptions nor s œdipien is not a proper noun, so I am confused as to why the proper order would be “un complexe œdipien.”
