"эта возможность"

Translation: this opportunity

[alex_tv80]

It is impossible to distinguish between "Это возможность" and "эта возможность" when you hear this. It is not a bug. "о" and "а" pronounced identical when unstressed but when you don't have context, you have low chance to guess right.

This. Either this one maybe shouldn't be an audio-only exercise, or it should accept both.

[AndroidKanada]

Agreed. I would have reported this as 'my answer should be accepted' but that isn't available, so I chose 'The "Correct solution" is unnatural or has an error'.

50 : 50 is a good chance!

Couldn't be also "this is an opportunity"

[SLzrnk]

No, there is этА, not этО

[Bb4H8]

Is it really that wrong to answer "it is a possibility" instead of 'opportunity'?

[Mariane43363]

Yes, would be interesting to have a commeng form a native speaket because it is really the way it is translated in French : "possibility", that can be either considered as positive (then synonymous to "opportunity") or not, with a neutral meaning ...

[SLzrnk]

I'd say it's closer to possibility than opportunity.
Opportunity is more like "шанс".

[Wilhelm393905]

They are pretty different words since opportunity carries a positive context while possibility is neutral.

[Herzliyya]

Could this also be "that opportunity" with no other context?

[Maslanov]

Yeah.

[james850506]

I capitalized "this" and it said I was wrong

[Chris299545]

Could this also be "that opportunity"?
