Exercise:The oldest man in the world Spanish

Re: Sentence: and
eats a lot of fruit and vegetables.
Kwizbot y
come mucha fruta y verdura.
You
could also say: y come mucha fruta
y verduras.
I was wondering why both fruta and verdura are not plural,
2) I really like all your exercises, and do appreciate your adding "You could also say sections". I have noticed that these (so far that I've seen) are basically
synonyms. Are there instances where you show how the sentence could be constructed differently and still have the same meaning (syntax /word order wise). I know that Spanish is a very pliant language that way, but I know that there are some things that are not acceptable (like any language) and find this would be helpful.
Thank you so much for the great work that you all do!

Two of the examples use the pronoun "a". For example "¿Tú traes a tus padres...?" and "Ellos traen al perro...". Am I right in assuming that this only applies when there's a person or animal involved?
Hi,
I searched on the site for the lesson referred to in one of the answers below using various ways of asking the question, but didn't find anything, could you refer me to the lesson Silvia was referring to:
"We have currently a lesson in our system titled "qué" + "noun/adjective""
Thank you. Nicole

Last translation in the exercise:
and their history is interesting.
Kwizbot y su historia es interesante.
You y su historia está interesante.
I was wondering why ser is used here instead of estar.
Thank you. Nicole
¡Hola!
Let's have a look at the examples:
1)
- Sorry, I couldn't come yesterday, I was a bit busy
- You couldn't have come anyway, roads were blocked because of the snowfall
2)
- I saw Maria yesterday
- You can't have seen her. She left for Bahamas three days ago
How can I express these ideas in Spanish by means of the verb poder and perfect infinitive?
Regards,
Alexander

Hi,
Does the section headed "Bear in mind that their regular superlative forms can also be used" mean that there are two ways to say "The youngest of my brothers is called Juan:
El menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.
and
El más menor de mis hermanos se llama Juan.
Thanks
Is it necessary to use definite article? What difference would it make if we dropped la?

Line: Kwizbot no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pintura rupestres.
You no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pinturas ropestres.
Could you explain why there is no “S” on pintura. Is this a special case? if so what lesson would attach to this?
Thank you,
Nicole
¡Hola!
Let's have a look at the following sentences:
1) Mis padres querían que estudiara Derecho
2) Susana quería que le hubiera traído fresas, pero no pude
Could you tell me if Pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo is used in the second sentence to emphasize that somebody didn't manage to bring strawberries, however the result of the first one is unknown?

Alexander

Could you tell me if it is indicativo or subjuntivo that follows the expression:
¿No es cierto que...?
