The use of partitive vs definite articles continues to be confusing to me, such as in this phrase in the second to last paragraph, "Un lien d'avenir, grâce à l'engagement ".

There was a sentence about an Emily,that was given to me, and I translated it, but the test had translated another phrase "Ici, je suis plus independante". Obviously the Emily phrase did not belong in this paragraph...just so you know...
