Is there a reason that the verb tense is "buscaria" "reduciria" instead of "busca" "reduce" etc.?

I wrote, La pantilla hizo huelga, but it was marked wrong, and the correct answer was El personal hizo huelga. Isn't la pantilla the same as el personal? 

¡Gracias!

The english text referred to great legends, so I chose gran, but it was marked incorrect. That seems to conflict with the answers given in the community.

Hoy invito yo, así que escoged ________ os guste.

This sentence has subjunctive so am i right to say it means = choose whatever you like?

if it means = whatever you like, then why is cual or cuales wrong for this sentence?

thanks

Why is it “los más ricos” and “los más listos”?

If the assumption is that we are referring to people, (la gente or las personas), should they not take the feminine form?

i am having a hard time knowing which preposition to use ("of the", "by the", "from the", "to the", et al) 

Not to mention which indirect object pronoun goes before the other (She gives it to him in the morning "Ella se lo da por la mañana")?

Hello. Why we use "consiguieron", not "consiguyeron"? Thanks. Zuzana

Hi, i’m confused about jugaron here. Why not jugaban? We don’t know when the playing stopped. Thanks a lot. Shirley. 

A little off topic, but consider:

1. donde, adonde/a donde

2. dónde, adónde/a dónde

and for that matter (or maybe especially for the case of), 

3. quizá, quizás 

Within each group the various options can be used interchangeably. But what factors influence the chosen form? For example do some people tend to use the same form all the time? Do people just randomly use all the forms equally? Do some localities tend to use one form more than others? Is there a pronunciation efficiency issue (similar to y and i  or  o and u, but not a hard-and-fast rule)?

I guess my questions especially apply to quizá versus quizás. 

Does querer que trigger the subjunctive if it's something you're wishing for yourself?
