Are any of these alternative answers possible?

1. Je me souviens toujours de la première fois ... (In place of encore - I often have trouble with encore and toujours in this context of still, but in some cases I believe they can both be equally correct?)

2. Elle a passé la plupart de sa carrière ... (in place of la majorité or l’essentiel)

3. ... dont elle a souffert pendant toute sa vie (in place of ... don’t elle a souffert tout au long de sa vie)

Thanks

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.

To à qui and à laquelle mean the same thing and are interchangeable?

What is the difference in meaning between 1. La fille à qui je sense

and 

La fille à laquelle je pense.

Why is the Imparfait used here instead of the Passe Compose?

Cyril m'a dit que ton SMS disait dix-neuf heures ... 

Why not "au-dessous de la limite de vitesse"?

Why is there no l' in front of effet in "gaz à effet de serre" so it would read "gaz à l'effet de serre"? Same for "tasse à thé" - no definite article. Yet, you write "pain au chocolat" - definite article.

Why is. ´Mardi 6 janvier, j'étais malade.´ wrong?

How do you decide when to use "du monde entier" vs. "mondiaux" vs. "a travers le monde" ?

Why is the pouvoir necessary in this sentence? I would translate it as : I am going to bring out my spring clothes. What does the "pouvoir" add to the sentence that I am missing? Thank you!
