Turn into the passive voice: "La secretaria ha estado ordenando los papeles."
I chose this one: Los papeles han sido ordenados por la secretaria.
but it marked it as wrong.
instead it said the right one was:
Los papeles han estado siendo ordenados por la secretaria.
what construction is being used here?
I would add one other usage that took me by surprise when my Mexican students first corrected me, which is to use “cuál” with the verb “ser”. “Cuál es tu restaurante favorito?” “Cuáles son los mejores restaurantes por aquí?”

why do you say yo soy una estudiante but not yo soy una professora
At what point does the number start to agree with the noun? I see quinientos libros, but catorce libros. Is it above 20?
Can "Voy a salir de casa temprano" (correct answer) also be:
"Voy a salir temprano de casa" in order to keep the adverb close to the verb it modifies?

I didn't realize that the entire proper noun is not capitalized or even just the nouns in the name. Apparently only the first word is?
Ps, I didn't see a response yet to the pair of questions regarding the use of the el/lo pronoun quandary.
No hay nada sobre de uvas en esta historia, pero me gusto mucho.
