Is it possible to have "la que"?

I come to it after the test question:

Sinceramente, ________ odio de ti es tu frialdad. Honestly, what I hate about you is your coldness.I thougth the answer to be la que, because it is la frialdad. But probably i am wrong.

My dictionary says 'hran' is only before masculine nouns, but you say m&f. Is there a difference in dialects? Got it wrong using dictionary.Dictionary is Webster's New Spanish Dictionary with Latin American Spanish.

"siendo su cifra ofical de habitantes de …. personas "

hola 

does this literally mean " its official number of inhabitants being xxx personas" ? 

I am confused with the word order:   can you also say " su cifra oficial siendo.xxx.."   ? 

I feel putting " siendo" at the beginning demands a number first . Such as " xxx  siendo su cifra" 

Could you elaborate ? 

Muchas gracias!

Tenses of Saber

I think I remember from my high school days that saber has a different meaning than "to know" in one of its tenses, I think one of the past tenses has a different meaning when translated to English but I'm not sure. It might have been for a negative construction of saber, to mean I don't remember rather than I don't know. I haven't come across any grammar rules that mention this since high school, but I would appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Thanks

No tengo or No lo tengo

I thought that ' el billete de tren' had a determiner - 'el'  as opposed to the general 'un billete de tren'. Please explain

gran vs. grande

In this exercise, the adjective "gran" has been placed BEFORE the noun "siesta". To me, that suggests that the nap was "great", "wonderful", "marvelous", etc. as opposed to big, (i.e., long) in which case, I think that the adjective "grande" would be used and placed BEHIND the noun "siesta". However, in the English translation, I think I remember the word "big" being used (I'm not absolutely positive about this). Would you care to comment on this issue?

Hay vs esta

One question was ____________  mucha niebla. Hay or esta.  I used esta wrong.  In fact mucha is never even translated.   So why is it Hay, not esta and why isn’t mucha translated
