How much less preferable is my response to Kwibot's here?
I can see how "lugar" might be used to signify: taking "place" (tener lugar) but surely the intent is that the occasion will "occur" rather than being placed somewhere? Would not "ocurrir" be a better verb? Esto ocurrirá entre . . . and why "esta" instead of "esto" or even "este"? It is an "evento", no?
And "habrá lugar para nuevos creadores"? It's as though "lugar" is being used as an easy substitute for better word choices.

If the question had been something like, "select the correct ways to say while (doing something)" it would have been clearer to me.

This is wasting my money and time to learn what I do not need. Please give your students a way to avoid counting these questions. Thank you
I was confused by the hint given for the first sentence:
Use lo que + verb + subj for emphasis ...
I interpreted "subj" as "subjunctive", and made quite a mess of my answer !
