Clarifying use of CUY-O/-A/-OS/-AS

Just to clarify if I fully understand this lesson, would these 2 sentences be correct?:

1. Roberto, cuyas hijas van al colegio de mi hija, es abogado.

2. Tus padres, cuya casa actual es tan grande para sus necesidades, quieren una casa menos espaciosa.

Many thanks for helping me get my head around this. Saludos ~Oscar

Paragraph title correctnessI copied the text below from your lesson. You title it “Pretérito perfecto de Subjuntivo” when it actually is the present perfect subjunctive. Am I wrong or correct?Ojalá with El Pretérito Perfecto de Subjuntivo refers to something that someone wishes has happened, either very recently or with no particular time in mind.Ojalá hayamos aprobado todos el examen.I hope we've all passed the exam.Ojalá hayan seleccionado a Carla para el puesto.I hope they've selected/chosen Carla for the post.¿Te acuerdas de los Ramírez? Ojalá hayan tenido una buena vida, después de aquel desastre.Do you remember the Ramirez family? I hope they've had a good life, after that horrible event.

very cunning word play . . .

It took me three times reading this before I got the real drift of the story. Very funny LOL. Necesitamos más colas sutiles como esta para que la cuenta no menee al perro.

Use of definite articles

These are taken from an exercise in the B2 Writing Library

I'm confused with the use of article here

deberías consumir espárragos trigueros, guisantes y habas but pondría ingredientes como la lechuga, las endibias, las espinacas, etc

What is the rule here?

No accent on final vowel

I see here that querer does not have an accent for the first person preterito indefinido: quise, whereas some verbs have one, like compré - is there a rule that I can apply to distinguish it, or is it just because querer is irregular?

Thanks
