You have switched two answers.

Translation for number 1 is missing the demonstrative pronoun.
When you figure out which two answers are switched, you'll have to retranslate them.

Please you check the two sentences that I highlighted in your homework because exist mistakes in it, if you can switch for other the phrase then it will be better.

I can see that you have switched the sentences, then I don't believe that it were a great idea, I believe that you must correct them instead of switch them.

Clase de música can mean both music class and type of music. The only way to discern the difference is by context. The sample sentence didn't provide enough context, so either translation is correct.

Mention that to your teacher to see if you get extra points!
