Seriously?! my answer was marked wrong because I used the article "la" in front of "sua" ?! Never mind that I got the exact gist of the translation right!

I too though the "close family" rule applies to one's family only

I got whacked for writing “La sua sorella ha molte gonne”. Really?

Esatto bigalexit, un sacco di is perfectly idiomatic, I hate losing points for a correct answer:-(

because you drop the direct article with family members. Sua sorella, but la sua amica...

LA sua sorella ha molte gonne was given a sentence to translate into English, but it's counted wrong when translating into Italian.

it can be translated also with "un sacco" (which is a very common figure of speech) instead of "molte"!

La sua sorella ha parecchie gonne should be right, don't you think?
