Above is the referenced quiz question, to which I answered 'you cannot say'. However, the results indicate correct answer is 'a woman'. This is incorrect. Since "ami" start with a voul, you must use "son" whether the subject is masculine or feminine, therefor, you cannot tell is Sylvie's friend is a man or a woman.

j'aime 'ramasser' instead of 'collectionner'
Is it right?
I am going to go and I will go seem the same in English. Can they be used this way in French? Is it a matter of preference?
Great dictée, interesting, with food for thought.
I continue to find punctuation challenging, as the speaker's voice does not always indicate what follows etc.
An example from this dictée: It opens with "Bonjour" followed by - to me - a long silence in which l imagine the speaker connecting with the audience and then, "Aujourd'hui..." So l wrote "Bonjour! Aujourd'hui ..." whereas Kwiziq is programmed for "Bonjour, aujourd'hui ...".
I no longer deduct for punctuation such as commas, exclamation marks and full stops and wonder whether naming at least these could be considered. Thanks!
why is 'épargner' wrong for 'economiser' - does it not mean 'to save' (as in money)?
Dan la négation, par exemple: je n’aime pas d’escargots. De is under 0 number, why escargots is using plural? Affirmative answer: j’aime des escargots have quantities therefore is understandable to use pluriel.
Why was “je vais au parc” marked wrong. Isn’t it an alternative way of saying “I go to the park” along with “dans le parc”?
Why is the correct answer ‘preservation’ not ‘conservation ‘?
Bonjour,
Why is it "Envoie-la-vous" not "Envoie-vous-la?" Aren't me/te/nous/vous always placed before le/la/les? Merci.
