Do you mean -  in the bottom draw of the chest of drawers?

One of the questions for this section was

Yo soy directora en una empresa. (I am a company manager).

Wouldn't it be better to say 

Yo soy directora de una empresa. ?

Why isn’t this considered an action that started in the past and is still ongoing?

The answer for "the test results" is singular.   But shouldn't it also be plural?  There could be many results for one test.

I may have missed something here. 

Is their happiness a permanent thing? 

Shouldn't it be, "estamos más felices?"

Thanks in advance,

I wrote "las velas son tambien ..." but the correction answer was "la velas tambien son ...". Upon re-listening to the recording various times, I feel pretty certain the readers say "las velas"; moreover it is following by "son". Did I hear wrong? What is the reason for the use of "la" and not "las" with "velas"?

Sinceramente,
