Question about quiz answer

For Unit 5 Lesson 1 the third question is as follows:

3. You are a woman at a lingerie shop. What would you buy for yourself?
a. un sostén, unas pantimedias y unas bragas
b. un sostén, unos calzoncillos y unas bragas
c. una falda, unas pantimedias y unas bragas

Though I would expect the answer to be 'a' the answer appears as 'c' and I was wondering if this was an error or if something else is going on here. Can anyone provide some insight?

  • Here's what we heard back from Berlitz:

    The correct answers are both: A and C. Sosten means bra, and falda means skirt, so technically both might be correct, but falda means skirt and (for Americans anyway) would technically not be sold at lingerie store. The reader is right: A is the best answer.

    Good catch--thanks!
