Participle question

I know that it's not the topic of this lesson, but in the sample sentence "Luis y Marta se han vuelto una pareja aburrida," the translation given is "Luis and Marta have become a boring couple." Why not "Luis and Marta have become a bored couple"?

answer instructions

The answer instructions don't say to answer all that could be correct or just one answer.

Are points taken off for just giving one correct answer?

very interesting and fun video

But pronunciation: in the Spanish muy is the U treated as W as in ruido, cuido or is the U given strength and sounded separately. Is muy MWEE ot moo-ee or muu-ee? cuy is cwee or cuuee. I've always believed that Y is treated as another vocal. a e i o u and Y meaning that u before Y = W so muy = mwee

Se animaron?

"Mis padres se animaron con la visita de mis sobrinos." I don't understand why this is animarse. They aren't cheering themselves up, they're being cheered up by the visit of mis sobrinos.

Tengo tener

Tiene and usted tiene

Both are correct, as the usted is optional to phrase in the sentence.

But it is marked incorrect. Grammatically it is correct, so I believe it shouldn't be marked incorrrect.
