Why is estaba used in the sentence-

Después del baño, estaba muy calmado y feliz. 

Why not era. Is it because describing feeling in the past? 

De quién was an option for this question: 

Mi perro, ________ me acuerdo a menudo, ha muerto recientemente.

However when I selected it I was marked wrong.

However according to this page

Using preposition a and de + el que, la que, los que, las que = to/of/from/about which/who (relative pronouns)

Should I have been marked right because quién doesn't necessarily need to pair with a lo/la?

Thank you for introducing us to this song by Amaral.  I have loved the group since hearing the song Cuando Subo la Marea in the series La Casa de Papel.  This was such a powerful song, and also a great one for Spanish learners, and the interactive reader helped me understand it more fully.  I appreciate the varied content and learning opportunities that you provide!

The "hint" for the last sentence was quite misleading.  Clearly, the "lit" English translation is not "what information so interesting."

Qué taninformación tan interesante información!

You could also say:

¡Qué información más interesante!

Hello!  Thank you for this wonderfully clear explanation of the accidental se.  I noticed that in several examples that are translated with a possessive adjective in English, a definite article is used in Spanish.  For example, "Se me rompió EL reloj ayer" is translated as "MY watch broke (accidentally) yesterday.  I have several questions about this.  First, would it be presumed in this sentence that it is MY watch?  Second, would it ever be correct to say "Se me rompió MI reloj ayer"?  What if I wanted to say that I broke my favorite watch (e.g., modifying reloj): Would it still be "Se me rompió el reloj favorito"?  Finally, if I wanted to specify that it was someone else's watch:  "Se me rompió el reloj de mi mejor amiga"?  Thank you in advance for clarifying.  This is a challenging topic for me!

And all this time, going through 1, 2 and 3, I thought the lifeguard was a girl! Inma, you need to speak a little more gruffly, please LOL

to summarise some of the info provided in the comments.

am i right to say the below:

Le encantan los documentales de historia, que/lo que/lo cual (yo) encuentro aburrido = I find [the fact] that she loves history documentaries boring.

Le encantan los documentales de historia, que/los que/los cuales (yo) encuentro aburridoS (agreement of the adjective is necessary here) = I find history documentaries boring.

meaning to say, que = lo que = lo cual are interchangeable and replaceable with no change in meaning. same for que = los que = los cuales ?
