Quiz question question

On a quiz question, my answer was marked wrong because I read "que se vaya" (irse) as "go away" instead of "is". This seems wrong to me. Irse means to GO away, not to BE away. The suggested answers don't even test the difference between "por mi" and "para mi".

What does "Por mí que se vaya bien lejos." mean?

I didn't want him to be far away.

I don't care if he is far away.

He went away just for me.

In my opinion he should go far away.

Thanks.

Simpler way to remember these

Not a question, but I think a much better way to put this would be ú -> ue, meaning the "u" becomes "ue" when stressed. That holds across all tenses (also for voseo) and needs no special cases at all (assuming the usual ge -> gue to keep the g sound from getting mangled). Turns it into a single simple fact to remember.

New here

I did the assessment test, and began the lessons. At the end of the two lessons I tried, there were two questions at the end. Two questions is not enough practice for me. Am I missing something ?

Hacer meaning to travel???This question suggested conjugate Hacer but the tranlation said 'travel' I don't understand why we would use hacemos instead of viajamos in that context? We would never say 'we do (or make) 200 to get to work' in English and I can't find any suggestion online that hacer is used to describe travel but perhaps it is a quirky Spanish anomaly? Thanks for your help to understand this one :)
