"Tiongkok adalah negara dengan penduduk paling banyak."

Translation: China is the country with the largest population.

"China is 'a' country with the largest population" was marked wrong. Can anyone explain the rationale for this?

[tsuj1g1r1]

There is only one specified country with the world's “largest population,” isn't there? Doesn't really work in English in the indefinite.

Yes thats my question too

Correct solution:
China is the country with the largest population.

However, the word "largest" isn't available in the word list. The closest I could get using the words available to me was "China is the country with the most large population" (which sounds terrible and is obviously wrong). The three leftover words are "hindus", "sore", and "off". So I'm not sure what the correct solution for this should be.

Hmmm...that's interesting.
The original translation was different (without the word "largest").
The original translation has been changed, but apparently the word tiles didn't change.

[tsuj1g1r1]

Actually, the correct translation should say “biggest.” “Largest” is better applied to things where areas and volumes are concerned. Not 100% sure if using “large” in this context is entirely out of the question, but it sure sounds off though.

"Largest" is perfectly correct and natural. See for example part 4 of the Wikipedia article on "World Population". In fact "biggest" is just a touch casual in comparison. I am a native English speaker in NZ.

'Tiongkok'? I have never heard it used by a single indo. They spell it 'China' and pronouce it Cheena. Why not call it what the Chinese do ' Zhongguo'?

Tiongkok derives from the Hokkien name for China. Historically many Indonesian Chinese were of Hokkien origin hence this name was loaned into Indonesian.
