Why not 'かのじょのお父さんはおべんとうをコンビニでうります'? Rejected by Duo.

That's also correct! It's apparently more common to put the direct object closer to the verb, but you don't have to.

is the O needed before bento?

    an お infront of a thing is just used to be more polite, or to elevate the thing to a higher standard. hard to describe imo xD

      Why is コンビニで彼女のお父さんはお弁当を売れます。not correct?

        売ります not 売れます。

          Why is "コンビニで彼女のお父さんは弁当を売ります。" wrong?

          Would swapping the topic part and the "by means of" part be incorrect?

            I swapped the "her father" part and the "at the convenience store" part in my answer and was marked wrong. Is that actually wrong?

              並び替えで、正答に必須な単語が選択肢にない問題がいくつかありました。 「を」や「が」などです。

              Anyone else have this with word bank, but there's no "bentou" to put in?

              I had bento in the word bank but nothing for: かのじょのお父さん

              The report button for the website isn't letting me type my own report and there is no proper select for it either
