Translation of the kids

Why was the correct translation for “the kids” Les enfants? Wordreference translates kid as gamin or gosse.

Bonjour Alan,

Using "gosse" or "gamin" is too informal for neutral or written contexts and very colloquial generally speaking. In the context of the exercise, the best option is to use "enfant" as it is neutral.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
