    Basically it's "alien" with a slight change of accents

      I suppose in English we're supposed to assume moose is singular, not plural.

      You can tell it's singular because it says "the moose eats" instead of "the moose eat". :)

        They marked "The mouse eats the apple"as wrong, preferring "eating" instead. Seems like they should have accepted it. Gonna report.
