Wow, I've probably been on this lesson for an hour and that progress bar isn't budging. Time to copy/paste, got to keep moving forward.
You shout to someone if they're too far away to hear you at normal volume, but you shout AT someone if you're upset with them. I would guess in this context, the judge would be shouting at someone.
Also, you don't shout "to" someone in English, you shout "at" them. I think this should be either "Which person is the judge shouting at, the Hungarian or the English?" or else "At which person is the judge shouting, the Hungarian or the English?"
I'm reporting.

Also, "the English one" just sounds weird to me. I might say, "which apple do you want, the red one or the green one?" but I wouldn't refer to a person in this way.

The answer suggests woman as a translation for ember, but doesn't ember mean either any person or a man?

Ember means "human", "person", or "man", yes. Mostly like in English "to go where no man has gone before".
"Woman" is not a good translation for ember.

Would it be grammatically correct to say, "Melyik embert kiabál a bíró, a magyart vagy az angolt? " If the grammar is OK, is the meaning any different?

I am not that far in the course to give an educated opinion, but i can give an uneducated one:
A labdát a bíró dobja embernek.
The judge throws a ball to a person.
(A szavakat) a bíró kiabálja embernek.
The judge shouts (words) at a person.
I would expect the person, that is shouted at, to be in dative.
Would surprise me if anything of that is near the truth.

My answer received the red "X" even though my Hungarian sentence was exactly the same as the "correct answer." I wanted to "Report a problem," but the choices were not applicable.
I put, "To which person is the judge shouting, to the Hungarian or to the English person?" I've reported it. Once again, the computer is failing to understand a correct translation. Guilth has expressed this correctly as well I see.
That is my answer too and it is marked wrong. Please let me know what is wrong with my answer. Am I missing something or is it the grader's error?
