Why is "quedarse embarazada" instead of "ponerse embarazada"

I recently read "se queda embarazada", and I also found it on 20Minutos. However, apparently, being pregnant is not a permanent change. Is this considered a special case?

going to be or not going to beAre the rules for using haber, hacer, ser and estar inflexible? Are any of them able to be substituted for any of the following?

Las casas reales europeas están de visita oficial a Latinoamérica y esta noche va a haber una cena muy especial. Para este evento, la decoración va a ser muy elegante y el menú va a ser muy variado, con platos tradicionales de países latinoamericanos. Finalmente, va a haber música y un baile para disfrutar la noche.

Poco/a vs. un/una poco/a

Hi, my understanding was that "un poco" was always used when poco was used as a pronoun, instead of as an adjective or adverb along with the explicit noun?

Ex: Quieres arroz? Si, un poco (de arroz).

Ex: Solo quiero poco arroz.

Ex: Necisito estudiar poco.

Is this not correct?

Thanks!!

*(BTW, this website is so incredibly helpful.

Just want to check this:

One of the examples is:

Su actitud se volvió violenta de repente.

Is it correct to assume that the change is a lasting one, as with someone who got hit on the head with a shovel and after that was a violent person?

Compared to:

Su actitud se puso violenta de repente.

In this case, cowboys in a saloon in a Western movie insult someone and he stands up quickly and draws his gun?

Just want to double check that these differences are correct. Thanks.

Usage of Kwiziq question - limiting quiz topic

Hello, one of my study recommendations was tan...como. On the dashboard, the feedback indicates I should keep working on this. However, I think I've got it, and wanted to test it to move on. But when I click the quiz from my dashboard, it's over everything that is recommended that I study, and I am not ready for that. How do I just take a quiz over one topic that I think I have mastered?
