Greetings!
Minor comment: your word bank at the beginning of the exercise included the word "pellizco". The exercise used "pizca". I assume that they are interchangable?
My Spanish verbs book was silent on the verb, "cocer", also my Spanish-English dictionary, so I looked it up online.
Love learning new words. Thank you for exposing us to them.

I selected 'por' as a possible correct word thinking it could mean "The train goes through Madrid"
Hizo su examen antes de haber repasado. The meaning of the English translation is not clear. I’m thinking that a better translation in American English would be “He took his exam before having reviewed.”
Hello! Por or para: the eternal question, right? I'm wondering about the phrase "for future generations" in the final sentence. If that phrase were interpreted as "for the benefit of future generations" or "for the sake of future generations," would "por" be correct? Or is "para" the only correct option regardless? Thank you!
Despite the considerable damage inflicted is translated as:
A pesar del hecho de que se produjeron numerosos daños
Is it possible to say 'A pesar de que se produjeron numerosos daños'?
The first one sounds like a literal translation of 'despite the fact that' and very formal
If both are correct which is the most natural?
Gracias
I now understand why I am having such trouble with this section, but please clarify. Which form, Mainland or Latin American, are you counting as correct?
In There Will Be Blood:
Yo me bebo tu batido. ¡Me lo bebo entero!
For example "They are talking about the least successful novel ever written", can I say "Hablan de la novela menos exitosa jamás escrita"?
Shouldn't be: "había objetos de ESTE metal."?
