Hm, your comment made me look it up on the internet, and from what I can see, it seems that you're correct. From what I gathered, calçar is used for dressing your feet and hands. (I didn't know that before!) I found it also said the same thing on this site, and since the website address is Brazillian, I guess its not a unique European Portuguese trait(?) http://www.recantodasletras.com.br/gramatica/3302796

Your answer is marked wrong not because of the use of "usar" but for using "uma" instead of "a". The question asks for "the gloves/ a luva" not "a glove/uma luva"
"A menina usa a luva" is accepted as correct as well.
You should use "calçar" for pants and shoes in general.
