In multiple choice, since the sentence talks about "his" officer, I assumed the feminine option shouldn't be chosen. Yet I am marked wrong for that.

What was the female version? הקצין שלה is wrong. הקצינה שלו is fine.

July 4, 2016

Yes it had "שלה" and I reported.

It's still showing solutions in multiple choice with שלה. Reported again.

Still showing after another 5 months.

You should report it.

Why is מפספס OK, but מתגעגע is not accepted?

February 18, 2018

Because מתגעגע is an emotional miss / longing for.

Yeah so he could miss his officer so much and could be depressed and so then miss a meal.

Can one use כי for "because" instead of בגלל?

January 12, 2019

No. Note that this is not just "because", which requires a subordinate clause after it, but "because of" which doesn't.

In order to use כי, tge sentence would need a different ending, something like:

"... because his officer wanted to talk to him"

... כי הקצין שלו רצה לדבר איתו.
