For this question:
"El guiso solo necesita una pizca de sal. No pongas ____ "
I couldn't decide whether it should be "tantas" or "tanta" because it wasn't clear to me at all whether the pronoun is referring to "una pizca" or "sal". If I recall correctly I put "tantas", attempting to agree with "una pizca" but it was the wrong answer. Is it possible that both might be acceptable in real world speech because of that ambiguity, or am I missing some clear difference?
(e.g. in English "This stew only needs one pinch of salt. Don't put too many" would sound a bit wrong, but technically would be correct for the same reason, in my opinion. Of course you'd usually hear "This stew only needs *a* pinch of salt. Don't put too much.". While salt is an uncountable noun (in most contexts), "pinch" is, of course, not!)
On two occasions the text moved on before I could submit my answers and on another occasion it didn't let me submit an answer as I had maybe pressed a key which triggered the "Not sure about that one?" response.
But this is to do with the nature of this sentence. For other sentences you can replace si with que, for example:
Me encantaría que vinera Carlos.
Me encantaría si viniera Carlos.
When used as a compound adjective, as it is here, "last minute" requires a hyphen between "last" and "minute," thus: "last-minute." When it's inside a prepositional phrase, however, as in "he found offers at the last minute," no hyphen is necessary.

Gracias Silvia for reminding me to find time to read this classic!
I have had 2 copies of this wonderful novel ready and waiting to be read for some time now; one English copy and the other in Spanish.
For anyone that may be interested, Netflix are showing the adaptation of this fabulous story- it was released on the 17th I believe. It's my Netflix film for this weekend :))
