Yeah, I only know "underground" from Harry Potter, I've never heard it in the US
It's UK English, but given that there's a little US flag next to the Duolingo English module, you'd think they'd try to stick to one dialect to make it easier on people. :/
Think of it as extending your education. Not everyone uses the word "subway" with this meaning. Either answer should be accepted.

Is "underground"commonly used in Europe, or just Ukraine? We don't use that description in the U.S.- it's usually just "subway"- that I know of, which is why I was curious.
what about "underground"? And if you use american "subway", why not to make room for british "tube"? :)
Because "the Tube" is a proper noun that means London's underground system.
Yeah stick to one transliteration, if its Kyiv it should be Odesa as well!
I agree. I write Odesa because it's how it should be spelled in Ukrainian and I'm told it's "almost" right :P
