'Sauté' came after avoir.

'visitée' came after avoir AND we knew the direct object to be 'la fille' ('que' gives us a hint that this was the case)

• ée
• és
• er
• ées

Answer explanation

The first one came after 'être' so you needed the accord

The second one, there is an (l') that indicates a COD (complément d'objet direct) which means you again need to the accord.

Third one was a normal example of 'avoir' so the accord is not made

Sarah? Je lui ai donn​ (a)   des crayons pour ses amies fatigu​ (b)   .

• é
• ée
• és
• er
• ées

Answer explanation

The first one you DO NOT do the accord, because it is not a COD, it is a COI (COD is only 'le, la, les')

Second one is an adjective, so it needs to do the accord with the word it describes which is both feminine and plural.

Vous vous êtes regard​ (a)   dans une structure cambr​ (b)   qui a succomb​ (c)   à une pression externe qui lui a ét​​ (d)   forc​ (e)   .

Answer explanation

1- is a combination verb following 'être' so you tdo the accord

2- is an adjective describing 'structure' so it needs the accord.

3- is a regular example of a combination verb following 'avoir' so there is no accord.

4- is the same as 3

5- This one follows 'être' and is talking about 'pression' so it must do the accord
