it doesn't specify whether to use the plural or singular form of "you" yet it penalizes use of "tu mananca"
The multiple choice question uses still "iar" which is NOT "and"! So all three sentences are wrong... Pls correct!
dict.cc : și = and (conjunction) iar = again (adverb)
"Iar" is an adverb, but also a conjunction. https://gramaticalimbiiromane.ro/morfologia/parti-vorbire-neflexibile/conjunctia/ (Sorry, it's in Romanian.)
Most of the time it can be replaced with "și", although its exact purpose is to express a difference in two actions.
"Iar" always separates two independent sentences, unlike "și", that can also be used between two parts of sentence of the same kind (as in "Ea și el mănâncă", or "Ea mănâncă și bea").

The conjugation of the verb:
Eu mănânc
TU mănânci (sing)
el/ea mănâncă
noi mâncăm
VOI mâncați (plural)
ei/ele mănâncă
Here in the heading, both the question (lesson) and answer are correct.
However, in the lesson the answer doesn't reflect with the question!
If the answer is "Noi bem un suc şi mancaţi orezul", then the question should be "We drink a juice and eat the rice" (omitting the "you").
Maybe, by the time you read this, the error has been corrected. :)
I cannot write the accents because I do not have that facility on my mobile phone.

It depends of the context, for example:
you are a boy > in here obviously "you" is only singular. you are boys > in here obviously "you" is only plural. you are well > here "you" can be singular or plural, BOTH CAN BE CORRECT IN CASES LIKE THIS because there is not more information after or before of this sentence.
In conclusion, for to translate "you" at least to a romance language, you need to pay atention to the context for to use the correct "number (singular/plural)" for verbs, nouns or pronouns, adjectives and determiners.
