Can someone please tell why is it Los padres paseaban con sus hijos por el parque.

Por favor ayudarme! :)
Can a demonstrative adjective such as "este" for example, ever be used alone to signify a person or thing?
Por ejemplo:
Ana irá a la escuela con Pedro con la condición que ESTE lleve sus libros.
You should just ask a straight up question and not try to fool us.
"hacen demostraciones en directo e imparten cursos, lo que atrae la curiosidad"
Hacer demostraciones y impartir cursos son dos cosas, y las dos cosas serían referidas de las que atrae curiosidad, no? Porque habla de 2 cosas y luego tienes que usar el singular? Gracias!

You say it's more common to drop subject pronoun but this is not reflected in the answers
Hi.
This is quite a comprehensive list to refer to people from Europe and most of North, Central and South America. I notice though that “hondureño” is missing from the list of Central American nationalities. Perhaps it could be added? Also, countries in Asia, Africa and Australasia are listed in the corresponding exercise on countries but not mentioned here. Perhaps the two lists could be tweaked to make them match up? And finally, why not list “Escocia”, “Inglaterra”, “Irlanda” “ Irlanda del Norte” and “Gales” in the list of countries (companion exercise) since people from those places would rarely say - at least initially - that they’re from the “Reino Unido”?
What is the key to make the answer "fue" rather than "estuvo"? It was a one time thing, done and over.
¿Qué te parece utilizar "podrías pedir" en lugar de "podrías preguntar" en la segunda pregunta de este ejercicio?
In the quiz, I selected "Había muchos niños en el parque." This was marked wrong, rather, "Hubo muchos niños en el parque."
I'm wondering why my answer was marked wrong, given that one of the examples in the lesson is nearly identical to my answer: "Había un perro en el parque."
