subjunctive vs futuro

In the quiz question "Es posible que Miguel ________ mucho esta noche." why is it beba and not beberá? Isn't the futuro used to talk about probability? (The given English translation is, "It's possible Miguel will drink a lot tonight.")

Acaban for “we”?Estaba agotado hasta ayer, pero mire (usted) por dónde, acaban de llegar artículos nuevos.

The English translation says “We” for “acaban”. Should it be “they”?

Es posible?

One of the possible answers for a kwiz question was "Es posible que hace frío hoy". Why wouldn't this be a correct sentence?

several questions

Hola!

Espero que la Navidad haya sido muy especial y que el año nuevo también sea muy especial para usted y para todos en el equipo.

1st Section:

It reminds me of the King Cake

Kwizbot Me recuerda al roscón de reyes
You Lo me recuerdo del roscón de reyes.

I was wondering

1)why is the direct object not used here,

2) and what is the rule and lesson for understanding why “recuerda” and not “recuerdo”. I had a thought that it might be similar to “me gusta”…

3) why the use of “al” and not of “del”

2nd section:

Question:

Why is ser is used and not estar:

because its shape is similar

Kwizbot porque su forma es similar/ parecida

You porque su forma está similar

Muchas gracias,

Nicole

Quiz question confusion

"Ella ha roto con él pero ________ así él sigue insistiendo.

She broke up with him but even so he keeps trying.

(HINT: aún or aun?)"

I've already forgotten which I picked, but I got it wrong. My confusion is that according to the lesson, both "aun así" and "aún así" mean "despite that". I can't think of a sentence in English where "even so" is not interchangeable with "despite that". It certainly seems like they are interchangeable in the quiz question above. Is there a nuance that I'm not grasping that explains why only one of the options is correct?

Repetition of direct pronounThe use of repeated pronouns like in "la música la hemos usado ..." always confuses me. Is the extra 'la' here because the object is at the start of the clause, so it would translate literally as: "music, we have always used it ..."?

el uso del guion

I had always learned and also read stories in books where conversations began and ended with a long dash, (un guion). The grandma was always saying ends with a colon. I expected a guion at the beginning of what she said and also the first letter of her first word to be Capitalized. I am confused.
