Why no "belle" with the "beautiful river Alzette"?

I had other mistakes in the sentence about the river Alzette, but the translation didn't include the word beautiful. Was there a reason to leave that out?

Missing Commas

In the third sentence of both the English & French text, after the second phrase (I stay at home & je reste chez moi) there is no comma. The way it is written it would sound like a run-on sentence.

'À laquelle' confusion

I get really confused with knowing when to use expressions such as "à laquelle". I've read the lesson however for this text for example, why can't I use "que" as well as "à laquelle" for - 'une surprise à laquelle je ne m'attendais pas du tout' ?

Placement of object pronouns

Il va leur téléphoner.He's going to telephone themIl va appeler ses parents. -> Il va les appeler.

He's going to call his parents. -> He's going to call them.

In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them?

Merci.

a reprint of what I posted 8 months ago on Future Simple with -er, -ir'rencontre' in the future in Horoscope de l'année

I wrote 'rencontrerez' for the future of the verb rencontre, & I got it right in the fill-in-the-blank exercise Horoscope de l'année (Le Futur); however, it doesn't seem to fit into the pattern for either regular -er and -ir verbs in the future or -re and -dre verbs in the future, and it directed me to this page, so I'm confused.
