"How is the day grandmother?"
Translation:Habari za leo bibi?

I was driven to understand from other exercises that ya is singular and za is plural, referring to habari here; and that both are acceptable, meaning (sort of) what's new about X and what are the news about X. But in a multiple choice exercise where both were given (Habari za leo bibi, habari ya leo bibi), I was told that only the za form was acceptable? Why is it so? Or is it correct and the exercise needs fixing?
