Me gusta el deporte...?

I was always taught that you can use "me gusta el deporte" to refer to sports and it is more common to use the singular, rather than the plural. The same as in English. Is this correct?

Era vs. Fue

The fill in the blank read "Mi prima __________ Miss Universe." The interpretation read " My cousin was Miss Universe" I don't see why era should be considered incorrect. She was (past tense) implies that she no longer is, hence she used to be. I have seen many sentences like "Cuando era niña..." translated as when I WAS girl. As the sentence stands, either fue or era should be accepted. To be honest, I think era is a more accurate description.

Why use 'a' instead of 'para' or 'por"?

In the examples of "¿Quién prepara la fiesta a Sofía?" and "Nosotros les preparamos la cena a nuestros invitados."

Why use 'a' instead of 'para' (for) or 'por' (on behalf of)?
