Why isn't vegetales accepted for vegetables?

I chose "quisieron" because there isn't any verbal clue that they actually  went rambling and "tried", so how can one decide which is the correct answer? They could have had the desire without the intention!

Hello lovely people, it's Friday which means we get a new set of weekend workouts, literally my best part of the week.

Inma, I love the dictations, even though I'm not very good at them yet, however I have two general questions about them, and wondered if you could help.
1. Vocabulary - When I listen to lessons, even lessons A1, I encounter vocabulary that I don't know. When the dictacions are written, are you using this as an opportunity to expand our vocabulary, or are you writing within what you expect us to know?  I don't mind which, I just wondered if my vocab is weak.  I use it as a learning opportunity!

2. English translation - I believe that the dictations are the only place where we don't see an English translation of what was said / written. Is this intentional? As per my point above, I sometimes don't know the words even when they are written, and I use SpanishDict to translate.  This has some disadvantages, for example in today's A1 exercise, Spanishdict translated "partes" meant as anywhere in your text, to "private parts", as in on a human :-)
Thanks, now back to work.

In your example and in Spanish grammar is the “a ella” repetition of the indirect object “le” essential or is it an optional extention added for the sake of clarity?

Hello,

One of the questions involved translating a sentence that mentions a “youngest daughter.” I used “muy joven” but the answer was “pequeño.” I thought that pequeño means small, so this use of the word surprises me. Is it just one of those things one has to know?

Thanks for your help!

The translation for 

Under the C1 topic of "How to say to remind someone of something with the verb recordar", the question is: 

El olor de esta comida _________________ mi ninez. 
The smell of that food reminds me of my childhood. 
HINT: It conveys something that is brought to her mind. 

(Sorry, I can't type the tilde above the n). 

The accepted answer is "me recurerda a". I think it should be "me recuerda".

This is the lesson:

This is what it says:

The cases mentioned above using the preposition "a" are all to do with "finding some kind of similarity between two things or two people". This is when we use the preposition a. 

However, there are cases when it still means "to remind of ..." but here the idea is that "something is brought to mind".

A great article which I thoroughly enjoyed and will watch and read a few more times. Why was the word "desgustar" used as: "bebidas para desgustar"? Is it an entendre doble somehow? Maybe disfrutar?

Vivo en España - aquí usamos la palabra ‘unos’ o algunos..para mi este lección es confuso
