Why use estaba when saying “I was very calm and happy”? It didn’t seem like an ongoing action in the past but one defined by “after my swim”. Why not estuve?

For the phrase: "... accompanied by rich hot chocolate" > "[una deliciosa rosca] acompañada de un rico chocolate caliente" - 

- the hint which you gave us should read: "the adjective 'rich' is reinforcing 'hot chocolate' " ... (Instead, you put: "the adj. 'hot' is reinforcing 'hot chocolate' ").

The quizzes have a tendency to ask good and interesting questions that aren’t in the lessons.  Could you please add a note that “el mayor/menor” is an exception and that we don’t say “el más menor/mayor”.  Thanks.  Otherwise a great lesson!

Can you use the preposition "con" after the article instead to denote posession? For example: 

-La mujer de allá es muy guapa. 

-¿Qué mujer?

-La con la blusa roja. 

Would that be correct? Thanks

Hello

Can you please share some example sentences for each of the above items?

It will help understand the application better.

Thanks 

I was looking for more practice.  I can't seem to find "fill in the blanks" for mucho, muchas, Muy and so on. The Kwiz only offers a sentence or two. Do you have a section just for intensifiers themselves?

I understand it grammatically or literately. What I am trying to figure out is what the semantics is. The sentence seems breaking the semantic chain of the text. What is the author trying to tell us?
