Use of pronoun in conditional passe

I would like to know what the " l' " refers to in this sentence:   

Seriez-vous partis si je vous l'avais demandé? 

Would you have left if I had asked you?        

I can only surmise that it means something like: 

"Would you have left if I had asked it of you.  "

son, sa ses

I am unclear why in the test question - Chacun a  .... faute, the correct answer is "son". Faute is a feminine noun so why isn't "sa" correct?

various words used in different contexts

I think I may need a bigger dictionary! I am struggling to find the appropriate word.  For example:

Le sol versus le plancher

imparable versus imbattable versus incomparable versus inégalable

évident versus manifeste. 

Also the suggested answer "je vais faire une machine" seems to translate as "I'm going to make a machine"

Help !!

What if there is no verb to modify

I was wondering how this expression would be used for sentences where the main action is accounted for by faire already. In other words where the expression is not modifying another verb. For example, if I wanted to say that "all lies are done on purpose", would it be "tout mensonges a fait exprès" or "tout mensonges a fait exprès de faire"?? Thanks, am having trouble transforming this sentence grammatically.

les grandes villes comme Strasbourg offrent même (un pass)

Suggest the translation of 'offrent' in this sentence should be 'offer' - 'Big cities even offer (a pass) . . .' as 'propose (a pass) . . .' doesn't quite fit.
