What is the meaning of "Aurélie n'est qu'allée au marché"?

The answer choice inlcudes 'Aurelie only went to the market - and nowhere else' and 'Aurelie went to the market - and did nothing else'. Can you please explain why these sentences mean different things? Aurelie only went to the market. End of, surely?

I am totally confused as to what I am supposed to learn"Non, il n'a pas eu son diplôme." means:

No, he hasn't got a degree (marked wrong)

No, he didn't earn his degree (correct)

I simply do not understand what the question is meant reflect. The point is not explained.

Translating 'se rappeler' as 'recall'

Is there any similarity in use between se rappeler and the English word recall? In other words, is it the case that a sentence in French using 'se rappeler' would be better translated using the word 'recall' than 'remember'?

Leur pouce vs Le/La/Les pouce

Elsewhere on the site, there is an example sentence: Ils sucent encore leur pouce. They're still sucking their thumbs. Why doesn't leur pouce become le/la/les pouce(s)?

... à me poser problème.Regarding: 'a déjà commencé à me causer des problèmes.'

An optional translation is given as: a déjà commencé à me poser problème.

Could you please explain why, in this case, there is not an indefinite article (un) before the word 'problème'.

Thanks
