Hints for this Quiz

Think of a completed action like "drank it all (finished it)".
The verb "beberse" emphasizes the idea of "drank it all / finished it" or strong personal involvement. In the past: "me bebí dos botellas" = you managed to finish both bottles completely.
Look for the meaning "ate it all / the whole thing".
"Me he comido la pizza" conveys "I ate it all / the whole thing" with an emotional focus on the fact that it’s fully finished. The version without "se" sounds more neutral.
Think: "knows it by heart" — it works better with "se".
"saberse" here means "to know by heart" (learned, with personal effort). "saber" alone is more like knowing facts in general; compare the usual distinction between "saber" and "conocer".
Look for a colloquial phrase with "me… lo…" that adds emotion.
"No me lo creo" is a fixed colloquial reaction meaning "I don’t believe it!" with a nuance of personal involvement or surprise.
As in "I binged the whole thing" — you need the form with "se".
The pronominal form ("me vi") adds the idea of "I watched the whole thing" and strong personal involvement, as in everyday spoken Spanish.
Order: me/se + lo/la/los/las + he/has/ha + participle.
In compound tenses, object pronouns go before "haber": "Me lo he bebido" (not *"lo he me…"). Compare the rule about pronoun position with compound and non‑finite forms.
This idiom for "ending up with a nasty job/problem" only uses "comerse".
"Comerse un marrón" is an idiom meaning "to end up with / take on an unpleasant task or problem". Here the pronominal form is obligatory: "me comí el marrón".
