Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly? I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé".

I came across this question in the quizzes. Why are these two sentences correct? One uses the feminine form and the other the masc. They are both referencing the time in the past. How does one determine if it is about the duration or precise moment?

I spent a day with Martin
“J’ai passé un an en Espagne quand j’avais dix-neuf ans.”
I spent a year in Spain when I was 19

Pont de l'Alma with a capital 'P' but pont des Invalides and pont Alexandre III with lower case 'p'. Is that correct?
