Word choice

After trying this exercise several times in the past few weeks, I'm still trying to figure out

1) why "They stayed there to watch..." is "Elles sont restées..." instead of "Elles y sont restées.." Is "there" implied and therefore the "y" is unnecessary?

2) why s'approcher is used in the instance of the people approaching the fence while approcher is used in the horses timid approach. Both connote gradually moving closer, don't they?

Paul's question re use of subjunctive

Auparavant, Paul et Cecile connaissent la raison de l'utilisation du subjonctif. J'ai cherché la bibliothèque de Kwiziq en ce qui concerne le mot meilleur et le subjonctif mais je n'ai rien trouvé. Est-ce que vous pouvez en élaborer ?
