Q: What are the following answers in the negative?
Sophie a-t-elle proposé les fleurs à sa nièce ? -- Answer in the negative
Sophie a-t-elle proposé des fleurs à sa nièce ? -- Answer in the negative
A:
Elle ne les lui a pas proposées. [agreement in part. pass.]
Elle ne lui en a pas proposé. [lack of agreement in part. pass.]
In other words, en placed before the auxiliary verb, les before COI (indirect object)
