The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?

Use of article

My question is about the quiz item: "El niño rubio con pantalones cortos es mi hermano."

Why was the article "los" not used before pantalones cortos? [e.g., El niño con los pantalones cortos es mi hermano.] An extension of my question here is that sometimes I notice a definite article is inserted while other times it is not. Therefore, what is the rule for using definite articles (los/las) in sentences of this type.

Saludos,

Pati E.

Why would this Poder example be subjunctive?

One of my lesson tests on Poder in the subjunctive asks,

No dudo que vosotras ________ correr tan rápido como ellos.I have no doubt you can run as fast as them.(HINT: Conjugate "poder" in El Presente Subjuntivo.)

But why would you use the subjunctive here? No dudo, I have no doubt, is an expression of certainty. Everywhere else that I have learned (my college course, spanishdict translation and google translation all use the indicative for No hay duda que..., and I figure this ought to be similar.
