Why "a"  El Cortes..." and not ..en?

In the beginning of the exercise, you hint at using the word "parientes" for relatives but I think that the word needs to be added to the list of correct answers because currently, you only get a right answer for using "familiares". 

Shouldn't this be suavemente? Softly is an adverb here not an adjective?

I have a doubt. I came across the following sentences in a book:

1. El ruido me bombardea los tímpanos sin cesar cada día

2. Los sonidos resurgían dentro de mis tímpanos

Sentence 1 seems like a perfect example of how you explained in this article. But what about sentence 2? Why would we use the adjective here instead of the article?

Thanks!

Hola! 

I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the purpose of doubling down on the indirect object usage in some of these examples:

"Ella le envió un regalo a Miguel. 

She sent a present to Miguel."

In this example, why do you need the le if you already have Miguel. It reads to me literally as "she him sent a present to Miguel" and I suppose it feels like excessive and unnecessary additional language in an already clear sentence. Is it for emphasis? Por favor ayúdame a entender.

Luna, Mar y tú dormiren un hotel de lujo.

Luna, Mar and you preferred to sleep in aluxury hotel.

(HINT: Conjugate the "ustedes" form of "preferir" in El Pretérito Indefinido)

x prefirieron

preferieron

kwiziq says prefirieron is incorrect and that it should be preferieron, but the lesson and internet says otherwise. 

Hola,

My translators consistently omit the "unos" before "270 huesos" in the phrase  "pero los bebés nacen con unos 270 huesos que se fusionan con el tiempo". Is it grammatically correct to exclude the unos ? Or is it included simply for aesthetic reasons?

Saludos

Kevin
