With quantities: "más de" also possible?

In the first and the last but one example, could it instead be "no más de unas monedas", "no más de unos minutos", and if so, would it have a different meaning/connotation?

Help with a kwiz answer

I had a question on a kwiz that was marked "nearly" or "almost there"

Aquel restaurante, ________ me recomendó Alberto, tiene unos postres exquisitos.That restaurant, that Alberto recommended, has some exquisite desserts.
el cual was "correct"que was "nearly"
In the question and answer just below mine, an answer says that que and el cual are interchangable. Why was this answer not just marked correct? How do we know which one to use to get "correct" answers? Does the "nearly" count against me?

Eso es. Is that how we can say "That is it."? (meaning "that one is the one")

inclusion or omission of object before nouns

Saludos

"También recordó las alegrías cotidianas, por ejemplo los paseos por el parque con su perro Turco y las noches de cine en casa con su familia.".

My translator offers two possible translations one of which includes las before " alegrías," los before "paseos" and las before " noches" and another which excludes them. Do the objects have to be used here, or are there regional variations ?

Es bueno / está bien ... estudies todas las tardes

Hi,

I am also a little confused by this lesson. I accept that they must be used as written but as the former modifies an adjective and the other a verb, how does this relate to the sentence above? Do they both relate in different ways to the second part of the sentence? Also, although they have the same translation, is there any difference to a Spanish speaker?

I need to understand when to apply each so that I don't make a mistake.

Gracias y saludos,

Colin

Why le, not lo?Le han suspendido.He failed [an exam].Hi, I’m confused about Le here. It seems the exam is “lo”, a thing, so direct object pronoun. Thanks for your help. Shirley.
