I think "terasa bieno" is correct. The Esperanto Wikipedia article of teraso (found here) mentions the agricultural meaning of the word.

Says who? I think that a mountain slope would be an excellent place for a farm.

Would it be possible to form another word for slope out of existing roots? I mean we have already:
klino = tilt, incline
ejo = place
suben = downwards
any ideas anyone?

well, that's indeed an option, very similar though. I was more looking for something without "deklivo".

@Raztastic, for a good explanation and history about "bieno", see this discussion from the Duolingo EO Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/duolingo.esperanto.learners/permalink/531338803694808/

It consists of dekliv+o. If you are asking whether “dekliv-” is composed, it's not.
I don't understand why this is a adjective noun construction. Would a car door be an auta pordo? The front door of a house, doma pordo? I could understand something like a fire door, metala pordo. The meaning of the sentence suggests that slope is modifying mountain.

In English we use the noun to modify another noun. You can't do that in Esperanto, so the noun must become an adjective.

monta deklivo=montodeklivo, doma pordo=dompordo, auxta pordo=auxtpordo

I would say no, it shouldn't be accepted. A better translation for "hill" is monteto.

From the audio I cannot tell whether it's “monta deklivo” or “montodeklivo” (listening exercise).
