"эта возможность"
Translation:this opportunity

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.
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'.
Is anyone else having a real hard time trying to pronounce this word correctly?
Is it really that wrong to answer "it is a possibility" instead of 'opportunity'?
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 ...
I'd say it's closer to possibility than opportunity. Opportunity is more like "шанс".

I wrote "This is an opportunity". When trying this with Google translate I get "Это возможность". When instead trying to translate "Эта возможность" i get "This opportunity". I think I have learnt something :)
This opportunity? This is a strange way to say this? What opportunity are we talking about??? Its such silly applications that often puzzle me!
