Why is the answer partageait not partageaient if family is singular?

But then again how can repas be shared if family is singular?

I suppose the real question is does it really matter if you get é or è right. Like, does this actually get use correctly or in a way that most french people would even notice. 

Use of "des" in  "Vous êtes les parents heureux" is not understandable, can we use "les" in place of "des"? if not why?

I am lucky > j'ai de la chance 

If I want to say like "I have chance" How can I say that?

Why is it 'je regarde le feu d'artifice" (i.e. singular) but, later on in the text, "Nous avons...des feux d'artifice'. "Feux" is the plural form of feu. Is it singular or plural?
