It says all of the friends which ask for the usage of 都 in the sentence, which already identifies 朋友 as a plural.
In native Chinese speaker, they also use "我的朋友" as plural. It is more fluency.
Wish there was a way to listen to the full complete sentence after getting it right (or wrong)
会 has two meanings. 1) 会="can"/"be able to" for learned skills. In this case it is the main verb of the sentence.
2) 会 means "will" indicating future tense, especially for events that will happen objectively in the future. (For events that you are going to make happen through your own effort, it is more appropriate to use 要). In this case it is a "helping verb" coming before the main verb of the sentence.
My problem is that even though it tells me I'm correct, it keeps repeating the same question and won't let move me forward!
Has anyone else been having technical problems in this lesson? THe audio and dictionary hints are almost always missing

The original sentence says "all" your friends and 都 means "all/both." 朋友 can either be plural or singular friend(s) based on context and does not ever really need anything extra to show it is plural. By saying "all" it is already implied to be plural anyway. Hope this helps.
When I saw "all", I started going for 《所有的……》 , then i saw the word bank lol
