I'll send this to our Spanish expert, SraJMcGin.
Perhaps your teacher had the wrong "key" to correct what you turned in? It would have been easier on these old eyes, if your answers had been WITH the items, but I have also done your homework, and out of 20 answers, you only missed 4!
In part 1, #3 requires the tilde on pequeños and #10 requires the accent mark on simpáticas. But the number and gender were correct for each one.
In part 2, #2 requires the accent mark and spelling change of z to c in los tápices and #10 requires the accent mark and not the i but e in los exámenes.
If you need the rule for written accent marks, there must ALWAYS be an accent mark on the 3rd from the end syllable, if you want to hear it. The spelling change is that a z, followed by e (as in the plural) changes to c = lápices is another example.
I would say you have done well!
Sra

It's possible that your teacher marked your answers as incorrect because they don't match the correct form of the adjective or plural nouns. To properly address this issue, let's go through the correct forms together:
A. Supply the correct form of the adjective:
1. The correct form of "rojo" to describe a feminine singular noun, "pluma," is "roja." Therefore, your answer of "roja" is correct.
2. The correct form of "alto" to describe a feminine singular noun, "chica," is "alta." Therefore, your answer of "alta" is correct.
3. The correct form of "pequeño" to describe plural nouns, "libros," is "pequeños." Therefore, your answer of "pequenos" is incorrect, as it doesn't match the correct plural form "pequeños."
4. The correct form of "poco" to describe masculine plural nouns, "chicos," is "pocos." Therefore, your answer of "pocos" is correct.
5. The correct form of "mucho" to describe feminine plural nouns, "chicas," is "muchas." Therefore, your answer of "muchas" is correct.
6. The correct form of "bonito" to describe "día," which is masculine, is "bonito." Therefore, your answer of "bonito" is correct.
7. The correct form of "guapo" to describe "hombre," which is masculine, is "guapo." Therefore, your answer of "guapo" is correct.
8. The correct form of "negro" to describe "pelo," which is masculine, is "negro." Therefore, your answer of "negro" is correct.
9. The correct form of "rubio" to describe "pelo," which is masculine, is "rubio." Therefore, your answer of "rubio" is correct.
10. The correct form of "simpático" to describe "personas," which is feminine plural, is "simpáticas." Therefore, your answer of "simpaticas" is incorrect, as it doesn't match the correct plural form "simpáticas."
B. Make the following nouns and their articles plural:
The correct plural forms are as follows:
1. La chica -> Las chicas (Your answer of "las chicas" is correct.)
2. El tapiz -> Los tapices (Your answer of "los tapices" is correct.)
