I also thought that was odd and I also got that wrong - because anniversaries are also related to people in English. However maybe it is more common that anniversaries are usually between two people or entities, such as 'Their anniversary is in July' or it is 'her anniversary in July with the company'. It could be that this specific phrase in Portugese only ever relates to Birthdays and that is something we have to memorise.
It is accepted now. A birthday is an anniversary. In fact, it is more correct to say "birthday anniversary", which is what we mean by "birthday".
Because it is related to a person in Portuguese. So you use birthday. But if it was "seu aniversário" (maybe the company's anniversary) then you use anniversary
It clearly says that it means anniversary as well but when I write "her anniversary" it's wrong... What??
I put anniversary and it was counted as right. I guess they changed it. After all, it could be her birthday or it could be her work anniversary, I guess.
I was told by a brazillian that aniversario is anniversary. You just say aniversario de casamento
birthday = aniversário
wedding annyversary = aniversário de casamento.

Because the literal translation is, "The birthday of hers" which is the Portuguese (latin) construction as there are not possessives in the same sense as in the English, "Angela's Birthday" has with the apostrophe and "s" added.
It is not Simple Present Tense:

"Will be" is Simple Future Tense which we have not learned yet at the levels that this exercise is placed in the DL lessons.

Does it sound like bela to you? These sound more like d, although weirdly with a different emphasis. https://forvo.com/word/dela/
