Κόκκινος/η/ο όπως μια/η (ν)τομάτα, Κόκκινος/η/ο σαν (μια/τη) (ν)τομάτα. I could accept any combination, but it is impossible for Duolingo to do the same for every sentence. Let's be patient, as its bank gets richer every day.
I guess when this sentence was written, there was a thought of a thing that was red as a tomato, but you are absolutely right, it could be κόκκινη or κόκκινος. :)
When comparing things either is ok, but "όπως" requires the article next to it.
Both are correct, because they are equally used. We could say "τομάτα" is juuust a bit more right, since the word τομάτα originates from the Nahuatl (aztec language) word tomatl. But both are used. ^.^

Ευχαριστώ! When I began learning Greek, people asked me if I was learning Ancient or Modern. Thought it was like saying, "Are you learning ancient (or contemporary) French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian"?
Well, ancient Italian/French/Spanish/Portuguese would be Latin, which is also a subject some people learn.
