Is it me or does it sound like she is saying "man bar..." instead of "man har..."?
Totally. "Man var...", that's what I hear, and I listened to it many times.
I translated as "man always has a choice" and my answer was marked as incorrect ((( why? i think it can be an alternative answer
This sentence is broken as "man har alltid ett val" was not accepted as being correct.
It's not about the specific sentence, it's a bug that can strike any sentence at any time.
Reminds me of the first two lines of this song:
Tänk dig att du tvingades att testa din moral
Att du inte hade något annat val

Could you please give the various forms of the noun "val" meaning "value." I understand that "en val" can also mean "whale".
val can never mean "value" - it's either "whale", "choice", or "election(s)". You can find declensions for both options here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/val#Swedish
Sorry. I was probably too tired when I wrote that "val" could mean "value". I had meant "choice". Thank you very much for clarifying that "whale" is an "en" word" and "choice is an "ett" one. I appreciate having the declensions of both.
Man and one are the same so I can use man instead of one. So I'm not wrong.
No, not really. English can use "one" in the sense of the general "you", but not typically "man".
That'd be alternativ. A choice consists of options, so they're not quite the same.

So this is the first time today the discussion button has worked. I submitted an email to DUO but assume that it and this will be ignored. When I hit the discuss button, it just takes me to a screen that loads forever and never opens the discussion.
