Apparently (according to another comment I read), the article before the possessive pronoun is required in Portugal, but optional in Brazil. Duo seems to be teaching Brazilian Portuguese, so it is optional in Duo.....except when they forgot to program both versions in (hence the report feature).

Actually "they" ( eles) is the subject of the sentence and "letters" (cartas)is the object. "Our" nossas in this case is agreeing with cartas which is, indeed, feminine. Hope that helps.

The sped up audio on this one clearly has an "o or oo or ou" sound in between "leem" and "nossas" which is computer generated, but in context, that wouldn't make sense, it would be an option "as" not an optional "os."
