"A tomato is circular" Is that wrong? "Correct solutions: One tomato is circular." Seriously?

Report the problem!

On the listening exercise the 'est' seems to not exist

The same for me. "est" is definitely not clear to hear

Terrible pronunciation here, sounds more like: "Une tomate est rende"

I could not hear the "est" when the simulator was pronouncing the sentence.

Maybe because you thought "tomate" was pronounced /to-mah-teh/. It is pronounced /to-maht/, and the /eh/ you heard at the end was the "est".

WOW!!! What an amazing discovery, Duolingo. I didn't know you did rocket science! :)

And yet people still had difficulty with the sentence. How would it have helped those students to have made the sentence obscure.

So if I use a masculine noun will the 'e' be dropped? eg "Le tableau est rond"?

No its a rhombus

just one?
