Once again: the beginners stayed silent - considered an error. I am not a native English speaker and know, that IT IS RIGHT. Guys, gotta do something with your error marking.
can a native speaker give me a clue as to when the ending for the third person plural is "ero" and when it is "ono"?

most verbs follows the rule:
- ...are → ...ono
- ...ere → ...ero
- ...ire → ...ono
• mangiare (to eat) → Loro mangiarono
• rimanere (to remain) → Loro rimasero
• dormire (to sleep) → Loro dormirono

How does one distinguish between "remained silent" and "remained in silence" in Italian? I submitted the latter and got it right, even though it doesn't have the same meaning as "remained silent."
Yes, I think "silenziosi" is also correct but the question remains is there a difference or preference in Italian between "silenziosi" and "in silenzio"?
What's wrong with using the word "newcomers" as a translation for "principianti"?

We know that these silent people are beginners, we don't know if they are students. Right?
The male voice clearly says "perimasero." I guess nobody's listening at Duolingo.
Am I the only one to hear "make" translator say prerimasero instead of rimasero?
For those of us with some hearing loss, this voice is far too high pitched to be heard clearly. Please change it.
