Help with Complete Sentences

I am having a problem with this one. The question is asking for complete sentences. As far as i can tell, I have done it correctly. I have tried many sentences. Still a no go. I am in beginning Spanish, so the sentences should not be too complex. I have been on this question for more than an hour. And I still have 5 more to do past the ones in the image below. Can I get some examples of what the first answer would be? And what I was doing wrong?

The first one should be:

Él se levanta a las seis de la mañana. He gets up at 6:00 in the morning.

The "Él" isn't necessary, but it does clarify that you are talking about "him" and not "her" or "it".

The second one should be:

Se baña por la mañana. He bathes (himself) in the morning.

Since you are still talking about the same person, you don't need the pronoun "Él".

Thank you! It was correct without the Él. I hate how not clear that program can be. - whitewolfjunkie, Nov 30, 2014

I think you meant to write "Él" (he) rather than "El" (the). Otherwise, bben15's response looks correct to me, so I don't know why you are being told your answers are wrong.

El means "the," and you can't put "the" with a verb.

Miguel René se levanta a las seis de la mañana.

Miguel René se baña por la mañana.

Reflexive verbs are conjugated as: me, te, se, nos, se, followed by the regular conjugation of the verb.

Por ejemplo:

Me levanto (I get up) Te levantas (You get up) Se levanta (He/she/it gets up) Nos levantamos (We get up) Se levantan (They/you-all get up)

Those were ones I had tried. The question still says they are wrong. This is why i was getting so frustrated with it.
