Chapter 1, It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.

Need help understanding these sentences.
"I knew you would be with a pros and cons list on each person because I knew you would never have one." There's no context, but could anyone tell me what "I knew would never have one" means?
Is there a rule about where to place "by + agent" in a passive sentence?
I wonder if there is any rule that make the position of "by + agent" is always wrong? Or it can be placed anywhere (from after the verb to the end of the sentence)?
We'll be traveling in breaks for this trip of 7 days via road.
Is it correct to say the *in breaks* part while explaining to a brand of hotel if they've hotels along a long route from north to centre of India? I wanted to tell this person since it's impossible to cover 1200kms in one day so we'll be taking break after 500kms. We're planning a trip and for this reason I'm forming the itinerary. Actually, I recently found the meaning of *in* as shown in the picture and thus used it the way I did with the hotel management over call. I keep experimenting with English as I want to sound natural and flexible. I've hackneyed *taking break* phrase to a point that I feel that I sound dull. And natives are welcome to advice any other sentences to speak in this situation. Also, let me know my mistakes in this post. Thanks as always!
Help to understand
I have a little question. Let me let you know that I'm from Mexico, my native language is Spanish. I can be able to understand English because I’ve been learning since few years ago. But as you maybe can imagine there are slangs that I don’t understand; For example, what’s the meaning of: how fast would you 🥜 (nut/nuts)? It doesn't make sense to me, but I know it means something and I wanna learn. I suppose nut refers to a man's balls, but as I said before It doesn't make sense to me, this refers to the movement of the testicles? 🥴 Could you please explain and help me to enhance my informal vocabulary? Thanks in advance, greetings from Mexico.

Grammar....
Why is for use in this sentence and not because of *do you think Pablo is going to reward you for being braved?* I'm still confused about when to use for and because when talking about the reason.
I'm supposed to have gone.
Does the following work? I'm supposed to have gone.
