Are these truly interchangeable?

Question

I answered the micro-Kwiz with two ‘en’ + saison answers rather than l’ + saison, but they were marked as ‘nearly’ right rather than correct. Could anyone give me a bit of a further explanation as to why ‘en’ is not entirely correct in the below examples? Every time I think I’ve got my head wrapped around ‘en’, I make a new mistake!

How would you say "In the summer, you go to the beach."? En/l’été, tu vas à la plage

How would you say "In the winter, you go to the mountains."? En/l’hiver, vous allez à la montagne.

Bonjour A,
Maarten is correct! In this instance, Kwizbot is expecting both options to be submitted (i.e. "en" aand "l'") in order to get full marks. However, an answer being marked as "nearly correct" does not mean "incorrect".
Don't give up! I'm sure you will get there! The more you practice, the easier it will get.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

AM,

usually when you get a partially correct remark, it indicates that there was more than 1 correct option in a multi-choice question, and all correct responses needed to be selected.

So, your selection sounds fine, but as a full answer to the question it was probably ‘ incomplete ‘.

Thank you Maarten and Céline. In this instance, the question took the form of a ‘type the correct answer’ rather than a multiple choice ‘select all answers that apply’

AM, in that case it is best to link from the exercise directly to support desk to see what the issue was and whether the question and answer need to change.
