Ambiguous question."Le 25 au matin, on découvrit nos cadeaux," is ambiguous, but the only answer accepted is passé simple. "Le 25" is not sufficient context to rule out présent since Christmas comes every year. I would add "dérnier" or maybe go with a different question.

Using this phrase in vain/stress

Can I use this phrase in situations like, "That's it! I've had enough!" Or would ça suffit be more appropriate here?

This lesson is confusing because you seem to be using regular and irregular adverbs so the crux of the point is lost on me.

«Plait» is also a correct spelling

Not noted in the lesson but the spelling reforms (1990) resulted in both «plaît» and «plait» being accepted (confirmed with Le Robert). The quiz bot is 'marking' the latter spelling as «nearly correct». Report also submitted directly from quiz.

"Alain expected this situation to resolve itself."

Can someone please explain why the correct answer is:

"Alain s'attendait à ce que cette situation se résolve d'elle-même."

I don't see any sense of "dread" in the reading of this sentence.
