The fruit is frugten, right? And frugterne is the fruits, right? Then why the hack the fruit here is used for frugterne?
The English word "fruit" can be singular or plural and "fruits" is usually only used when people want to emphasise that they are including fruits of different kinds.

But "I am eating the fruit" means "I am eating one fruit". There's no way you can understand "fruit" as a plural in that sentence

How the hell is anybody to know that they are to use the plural? That is NOT obvious.

'frugterne' is the definite plural. The sentence says: '...and the fruit' that should correspond to '...og frugten.

As written, it's difficult to tell whether we are supposed to translate "the fruit" in the singular or the plural. Especially, since there are other practice sentences that mix plural nouns and singular nouns.
