"Su familia la quiere mucho y, para ser sinceros, ha hecho muchos sacrificios por sus hijos." quote from cloze exercise

I do not understand to whom 'para ser sinceros' refers to.  Does it refer to 'su familia' or Eva, the daughter who made the sacrifices? 

Why is 'sinceros' plural since it refers to a singular noun, either su familia or Eva?

This sentence doesn't make much sense to me.

I understand the need for para in para ser sinceros to mean in order to be sincere, but I am confused as to why sinceros is plural and to whom it refers.

Thank you.

 Using para (and not por) for purpose, goal or objective

I am confused because we are practicing the present tense of the verb but why are the examples in the present continuous? 

Thanks for explaining, shirley.

I see in this lesson that when the subject is the same, we should be using the infinitive. I need to work on that!

Is it ever a  “tolerable” error among native speakers to commit this mistake when using a colloquial register? I frequently want to say things like “Dudo que (yo) pueda hacerlo para viernes” instead of “poder hacerlo.” I know you’re here to teach us the right way!! Just curious as to “how” wrong it is.

Hola 😊

I translated the above as Cuando me encuentre las llaves. I was marked wrong, the answer is said to lack the "me". I think without the "me" they could be anybody's keys. Am I wrong?

why is  No todavía hemos cenado. marked wrong

1. Qué música te gusta más?

What music do you like the most?

2. Cuál universidad es mejor?

Which university is better?

Is Qué + noun used when the universe to chose from is large?

Is Cuál + noun used when the universe to chose from is small?

Would you say Cuál universidad es más mejor or Qué universidad es más mejor?

Which university is the best?

Thanks.

Hola,

¿Por qué se usa "la" aquí en esta frase, se refiere a doña Berta? ¿Por qué "la" en vez de "le"?

"Espere, doña Berta. Yo la ayudo con las bolsas."

¡Muchas gracias!
