Question 1 coudl be either Tu familia es muy simpática or Su familia es muy simpática
Explanation:
Since we are given your as the possessive in English, we know the sentence needs a second person possessive noun. However since in English second person singular and plural use the same pronouns, there is no way to know if we are referring to a single person or to a group. In Spanish there is a difference between plural and singular possessive so we have the two possible answers.
We use possessives in Spanish to express mainly possession. If they go before a name they perform the function of a determinant (‘esta es mi casa’) and if they do not accompany any name they are possessive pronouns (‘esta falda es mia’).
For example:
Este es mi coche. (This is my car.)
He estado con mis amigos. (I have been with my friends.)
