Can querer in pretérito indefinido mean either wanted or tried?

I saw it in spain and "IT WAS WONDERFUL". Shouldn't it be in Imperfecto because we are kind of giving description here of how it was. But it was marked wrong. It was "fue marvillosos" . Please answer???  

In this quiz question (Elia no va a empezar el curso este año ________ va a tener un año sabático.) it seems to me that "pero" works just as well as "sino que". It doesn't seem to be a clear distinction between pero and sino que - it seems they both can be right. In one sense, you are adding a new idea/action of taking a sabbatical & should use pero, or you can think of the sabbatical as a substitution for beginning classes and use sino que. Why is sino que "correct" and pero ïncorrect"? 

I haven't seen this use of "que" before.

Ya son las tres. Andando, que llegamos tarde.  It's 3 already. Let's get a move on, we're late.

¡Corriendo que nos mojamos!  Hurry up, we're getting wet!

I like this.  Is there a lesson on it?

why does it show the numbers instead of spelling out the numbers?  

Please explain why it was necessary to insert "los" before ojos azules. I have trouble understanding when articles (both definite and indefinite) can be omitted and when they are required in written (and spoken for that matter) Spanish.

Thank you,

"Fue un dia muy lindo" is describing the day and the weather. Why wouldn't it be "Era un dia my lindo"?

Why is "unas técnicas básicas" wrong?

Why in the following example is ser used? I thought that the estar form would be used because cheerful is a an emotion or feeling. Wouldn't this indicate that the group is "always cheerful"?
