Qu'est-ce c'est la différence en français entre "he made the dish, which she loved" (she loved that he made it) et "he made the dish that she loved" (it is her favorite dish)?

"Il avait même fallu que les autorités démentissent le canular". According to a conjugation guide I use, this sentence appears to use "démentir" in the subjunctif imparfait, which I think is rarely used today in French. Would it be better as "que les autorités démentent" (present subjunctive)? Or maybe "aient démenti" if a subjunctive in the past tense is needed here? 

J'ai mangé trois mangues.

More of a comment than a question, but seeing my A0 through B1 levels decline from 100% to 99% today felt like a punch in the gut.  I normally only have enough time per week to take tests maybe 2-3 days, so it's been a slow and steady climb for me.  I tried to knock 'em out quickly, but of course I made some minor mistakes, and now I'm doing A1 tests instead of the B2 tests I would normally be doing right now.  Rough way to start the week.

Pourquoi on utilise le subjonctive avec cette phrase:

Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées !

Mais pas avect celle-ci:

Ces chanteurs sont les pires que j'ai écoutés !

Je note l'explication qui suit: 

Therefore, Le Mode Indicatif can only be used in such cases where the sentence refers to established true facts or statements.
