Why not ‘du matin’?

Why is “sept heures moin dix du matin” marked wrong here?

Inconnues à / de

Bonjour,

The online Collins dictionary gives the translation of 'être inconnu(e) à qn' meaning to be unknown to someone, which I used in the response. The correction provided for 'inconnues de' and this was confirmed by my big Collins Robert dictionary. Could anyone shed some light on the difference between à or de in this context please?

Merci beaucoup :-)

“Un bon moyen de mettre la finance au service d'un projet de société alternatif.”

—-

Is the adjective “alternatif” in the masculine form because it’s linked with the masculine noun “projet”? Is there a chance that it should be linked with the female noun “société” and therefore be “alternative”, or is it obvious to French speakers that this would not be the case?

Thanks, Brian
