With quantities: "más de" also possible?

In the first and the last but one example, could it instead be "no más de unas monedas", "no más de unos minutos", and if so, would it have a different meaning/connotation?

Desde vs de

Are desde and de interchangeable. For ex, I saw him from a distance. Would both work?

Lo vi desde una distancia.

incorrect to use the pronoun with "a" on its own without the second short pronoun

In the quiz, the statement was supposed to be correct: El director entregó un premio a los estudiantes.

However, the explanation seems to contradict that. Can you explain why?

It would be incorrect to use the pronoun with "a" on its own without the second short pronoun:

A mí diste muy poco dinero pero a ella diste mucho.¿A tí regalaron tus padres una moto el año pasado?

Example - double pronoun Hey, the last unit of examples says 'Using a + lo / a + la + adjective/noun' - Should this read 'Using a + lo / a + adjective/noun'? Thank you!

¿A tí te regalaron tus padres una moto el año pasado?

Why does ‘a ti’ carry an accent in your examples ? I understand “a mí’ does it to differentiate itself from ‘mi’ but there is no reason for ‘ti’ to carry an accent.

Come usage Hi I realize it's a little off topic from the verb trabajar, but in the second example the use of the word Como is confusing me.
Yo trabajo como secretaria en una empresa.I work as a secretary in a company.
Doesn't Como mean "how"? As in "Como estas" But in the example above it seems like it means "as". Also I have seen it mean "eat". Am I mixing something up here?
Thank you

Can we please get an explanation how ? can be a !

I'm with the rest of the people below. How can a question be interpreted as a exclamation? If it has the ?? around it, it signifies a question. It shouldn't matter what language you're using. A question is a question. So how does this magically convert into a exclamation? Can someone from kwiziq please answer because it's been asked over and over for the past year. Thank you
