Quels or Quelles?

 Bonjour Aurélie

"Quels/Quelles sont les danseuses engagées?" 

I answered "Quels" as it was unclear if the dancers were male/female or both.  I was marked incorrect.  Was that because of an incorrect assumption on my part ( that all dancers are female) or was there another reason?

thanks for your guidance,

Elizabeth

Bonjour Elizabeth,

Quelles is the correct answer because both words, danseuses and engagées, are feminine. All male dancers or a mix of male and female would be written danseurs engagés.

I hope this helps, bonne continuation !
