Hi, which is correct? C'est la responsabilité des enterprises de réduire les quantités de plastique mis/mises sur le Marché

On peut aussi dire "du pont Saint-Martin"?  Quand est-ce qu'on utilise "depuis" (from)? Ce sont des synonymes?

'Mon frère qui habite en France.' I would assume it's wrong to use 'à qui' or 'auquel' in this context, but I don't know why? When is it most suitable to use 'qui'?

Question 1)  Comment se sont passées vos vacances ? Should it not have the final 'es' ?

Query 2) If a question is asked using the past tense, can the reply be in the imparfait?

I searched quinze heures et quart on Google Search, and found that it is acceptable, however my answer was reported wrong. Please let me know if I have done something wrong, and I appreciate your efforts? Thank you.

'Certain adverbs of time and manner can both be AT THE END or AT THE START of the sentence' - no, they can be used 'either at the end or at the start'. You are confusing 'both/and' with 'either/or'.

After trying this exercise several times in the past few weeks, I'm still trying to figure out 

1) why "They stayed there to watch..."  is "Elles sont restées..." instead of "Elles y sont restées.."  Is "there" implied and therefore the "y" is unnecessary?

2) why s'approcher is used in the instance of the people approaching the fence while approcher is used in the horses timid approach. Both connote gradually moving closer, don't they?

Re:  

Le temps des deux parties m'a confuse dans cette phrase. 

Il y a un exemple ou on utiliserait le subjonctif passe comme ca:

For the above question, I am marked wrong for putting "le 1 mai", with the correct answer being "le 1er mai".

The lesson text implies to me that either are correct. It states that French dates require cardinal not ordinal numbers and includes "un (1)" in the list of examples of cardinal numbers. The "le premier (1er)" is then listed as an exception that "we do use". It is not clear from this whether "1er" must or may be used.

Could this please be clarified?
