In this exercise the preterit 3rd person singular of "creer" is shown as "crió" whereas in my other Spanish dictionaries it is shown as "creció". Is the former conjugation specific to Latin America whilst the latter (creció) is specific to Spain?

Aunque + Subjunctive

This topic requires a better explanation. There is a question where one person talks about the condition of another’s car. Both speaker and listener know the car’s condition. According to my reading of the lesson (perhaps mistaken), this means the subjunctive is used. So, I chose funcione but funciona was the correct choice. So, doubt or uncertainty does not seem to be the deciding factor when considering the use of the subjunctive after aunque. Thanks.

interchangeability of words

4 y 6 grados de alcohol shows as "degrees" of alcohol. Are "degrees" and "percent" interchangeable in Spanish? I've never seen it that way in English

It seems that the tests are all over the place.

Your article says: "In most places El Pretérito Indefinido will be used with "nunca" and "siempre" and even with time expressions which have a connection to the present, such as: hoy, este mes, este año, esta noche, esta mañana, esta semana..."

On a quiz, I used the indefinido in a question with a "time expression which has a connection to the present" (i.e. "hoy") and got the question wrong-- it was corrected to the perfecto.

Is there something wrong with what I did? Are the quizes looking for peninsular or latin american answers?

Question about use of gustar followed by reference to a person

I am confused about the translation for a section of this exercise. That section is: "I like King Baltazar". For this, I wrote "A mí me gusta al Rey Baltasar", but the corrected answer/translation was presented as "A mí me gusta el rey Baltasar". I thought the preposition "a" needed to be inserted after use of gusta if the reference was to a person (in this case "rey Baltasar" --- lower case in "rey" notwithstanding). Apparently, I am wrong. Could you please explain why "el" and not "al" was correct?
