Translation of "at times"

I translated ”at times” by parfois in the sentence, ”But the ceremony lasted too long and the sketches were boring at times.” Should this have been accepted ? BTW, I loved the new format for highlighting differences and alternatives.

This question relates to:French writing exercise "What did you think about the César Awards ceremony?"

Bonjour Frank,

The adverb "parfois" is accepted as an alternative in the exercise. I submitted the same answer as you did (having checked your exercise history) and everything was displayed as it should. The adverb was highlighted in yellow compared to "par moments" in Kwizbot's answer - showing another alternative.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
