This is one of the ones with many possible English wordings. This time I put "Her relationships with both her colleagues and her manager are good".

For everyone saying that there's no way to differentiate between a singular or plural reading of 关系, the 都 signifies that definitely more than one relationship is meant, hence it should be plural.

The correct answer doesn't show the meaning of "都". I used "both" in front of "her colleagues and manager", but didn't pass.

In the Chinese sentence, is 都 attached directly to 关系 or is it supposed to modify everything after 跟?
Is it possible to say 跟她的同事和经理都的关系 or can 都 only be used after 关系 ?
"All of her relationships with her colleagues and managers are good" should also be accepted.

Actually, the key here is 很好, which is at the end of the sentence. 都 comes before that, and you can put many things in front e.g. 面和饭都很好吃、她和她妹妹都很好、衣服和首饰我都喜欢 and so on.
In this case, the structure is:(more than 1 thing/part) + 都 + (description of those things/part).

"Her relationships with her colleagues and manager" (她跟她的同事和经理的关系) is the subject and 都 goes after it.

It's easy to think of 都 as being linked to the subject, but it's not. Since 很 acts as a verb and 都 is an adverb, 都 has to be used before 很. In Chinese grammar, it modifies the verb, not the subject.

Currently not accepted but should be: "Her relationships with her colleagues and manager are all very good."

Why doesn't "She has a good relationship with her colleagues and manager." work? Answer me, Duolingo

It also doesn't indicate whether its relationship singular or plural. I dint think it makes a huge difference and both can be said but only plural is accepted.

This site is really anal when it comes to English expressions. Looks like a person who can't speak either English nor Chinese. Between the exesessive adds and poor translation. I'm using two sites that have Chinese teachers who are fluent in both languages. What a huge difference

Do you know what's funny? Duolingo's house is in Pennsylvania, so someone out there (between the german hamish) should speak english... but every correction is up to algorithms.

Either is OK. She can have one relationship with her colleagues and one with her manager, or they can all be in one relationship together.
