In this kind of phrase - 'elle entendit un petit couinement venir des buissons' - is it possible to use the present participle instead of the infinitive ('elle entendit un petit couinement venant des buissons') ? If so, is either more usual or preferable than the other ?

Le siècle ________ la bombe H et les antibiotiques ont été inventés est le XXème siècle.

I had written 'dans lequel', but received a wrong answer.

In reading the lesson, it stated that after a noun 'dans lequel/le' can be used instead of 'où'.

Why is 'où' the only answer here?

thank you. Jennifer

Video contradicts lesson

I am confused about the position of adverbs because the video says they go right after the verb they are modifying but when I answered the mini quiz in that way I got 0/2

Any thoughts?
