"il giornale" = "the newspaper". "in the newspaper" = "nel giornale". It's explained in the "Tips and notes" of "Basics 2" (website).
I see it differently to you. The first thing I think of when I read this sentence is that there is actually a snake in between the sheets of the newspaper. In fact, your first interpretation is like the third or fouth thing I would think of. But anyway, I just thought that that was interesting. I would also like to know what the most common meaning of this sentence is.

I just skip them and Duolingo treats it as a typo (that is, the answer is still correct if the only difference is missing accents).
But I have a row of accented letters and special characters under the text field when typing the answer, don't you have that?

nello is for male nouns with the article lo. However, it's il giornale, so it's nel giornale.
