Is there a stronger emphasis when using para nada/en absoluto? Thank you

Hola Inma,
This appears to be a question but there are no question marks. Is there a reason for this; I am wondering if it is because it is rhetorical?

Is a good definition of soler "to be in the habit of (doing something)"?
Thank you
Do we use' el que' with subjunctive ?
Yo creo que la palabra ella es una combinación de las palabras el y la. Similarmente, la palabra ellos es una combinación de las palabras el y los y también la palabra nosotros es una combinación de las palabras nos y otros y también la palabra vosotros es una combinación de las palabras vos y otros. Me parece que son similares con el tipo de palabras en inglés llamada contracciones. Yo espero que yo tengo razón pero no estoy seguro de este. Por favor me explique.
Ella se mudó allí hace dos meses. Is this correct? The lesson says we can't use the preterite with hace + time.
In the sentence:
La bruja le maldice todos los años. (The witch curses him every year)
I expected it to read "lo maldice" to say "to curse him" where "him" would be the direct object. Why is it le?
The lesson doesn't seem to differentiate between these two words and the 2 quiz questions just require the same single word answer. Is there anywhere that explains the differences in more detail please?
After reading this chapter and the comments I think there is an English usage that is very similar and helps to explain it a little more clearly. We have the structure "to have got(ten)...done." (instead of I have done 3 things). Like in Spanish, it usually means that you've done several things toward your goal and you have gotten them out of the way.
e.g.
I've painted three rooms. He pintado tres habitaciones.
I've gotten three rooms painted, or I got three rooms painted. Tengo pintadas tres habitaciones.
You can apply that formula to all the other examples. Helped me to understand this much better.
Same thing with:
The book has (gotten) me interested.
El libro me tiene interesado.
