Don't understand why using "impolies" plural and feminine is used here...and "impoli" is not accepted.

if you are using formal vous, I would think impoli or impolie should also be accepted.
"Impoli" is an equally valid response, unless you can clearly hear the liaison in "impolies avec." In my audio, I don't hear any liaison at all, so all four responses (impoli, impolis, impolie, impolies) should be accepted.
I agree all four variants should be ok in a listening exercise. I think a liason from impoli(e)s is prohibited or unusual, since that would bridge two distinct parts of the sentence.

Why "to" your guests? I wrote "Don't be rude with your guests," which is perfectly fine in English, and was marked wrong.

parfois «impoli» veut dire «impolite» et parfois il veut dire «rude» mais pas «impolite»...?

I have listened numerous times to the fast and slow audios. I hear NO liason sounding the "s" Duo implies is there in impolies. Absent this, there is no other clue that impolies should be singular, plural, masculine, or feminine. Impolie should be acceped.
