Why is it incorrect to say "espero que no tomen muchas fotos....."? Or, why is it only correct to use sacar in the subjunctive?

I thought you don't need to use the personal a with animals although it's commonly used with pets. Is that so? So couldn't it be "vio los elefantes"?

The answer given for the blank is “estado” — I don’t think that has been covered in any lesson (in A1). Can you explain?

I was marked as incorrect for not capitalizing the first letter in the sentence. Are the quizzes scored that harshly? I realize that sentences begin with upper case letters, just didn’t expect on these less than formal settings to be scored on case sensitivity.

So can i use que and cual interchangeably eg 
Mis vecinos, quienes tienen tres hijos, son muy ruidosos.

Mis vecinos, que tienen tres hijos, son muy ruidosos.

The answer appears to treat estar as a verb like gustar.  It doesn´t appear as such in your list.  What am I missing?

Is there a general rule in Spanish about when the definite article must be used and when it can be omitted? Eg why do azúcar, sodio, carbohidratos and lácteos need the definite article but not pescado, marisco, granos and huevos?
