What is the audible clue that the teacher is answering "her question" as opposed to "the question" since often the definite article is pronounced as just "a"? This was presented as a "type what you hear".

In this case it's easy. Ceist is feminine and it therefor would be "an cheist" and you would hear the lenited form clearly.

Tuigim anois. If I could just hear now what the speaker would say to distinguish between "an cheist" and "a cheist", the lesson would be complete.

With Type what you hear exercises, we’re out of luck since we often don’t have enough context to draw conclusions. In a real life situations, the context should make it clear.

Would you please check the speaker's pronouncement of the Gaeilge word "Bhfreagróidh".This way the speaker says the word does not sound correct.
