"אני אוכל תפוז."

Translation: I eat an orange.

[scheisse1234]

Fun fact: The word for orange, "Tapuz", is actually a contraction of two words, apple (תפוח) and gold (זהב), i.e "Golden apple".

[NirYaniv]

Another fun fact - unlike English, in which "orange" has no (obvious) rhyme, תפוז is the most used word to explain the concept of rhyming, because "rhyme" in Hebrew is חרוז.

How come the correct answer cannot be "I am eating an orange"?

[scheisse1234]

It should be accepted. Hebrew does not distinguish between "Present Simple" and "Present Progressive", unlike English.
