Incorrect Options in Duo Raise Questions

walkitoutDuo often has funny alternative options when giving three possible responses to something. They raise questions in my mind!
Like: the correct answer is NOT the fairies are athletic. But do fairies play sports? What sports?
Or, the cave does NOT have a donjon (which sounds like dungeon but is apparently instead a castle tower). I think a cave COULD have a tower tho? For suitable definitions of tower. Chimney, for sure.
In Seattle today, it is foggy, and difficult to see the difference between the water and the sky. I love it so much.
ETA:
Today I completed the sidequest by arranging to meet the woman who lost her fan. Turns out she was in my hotel for a breakfast — the SFWA pros breakfast. We met in the hall outside and took photos and chatted and Catherine Asaro walked by which was super exciting for us. I think I saw the guy from the panel I went to for Casey Blair through the door, too (conan adjacent person who would ordinarily be at a comic con, but who was very chill — we ran into him later when doing room parties in the evening).
After that, I walked over to Cafe Flora to have brunch with K. Yay! Super tasty. I had the veggie burger and it was really good. I also got to see her husband K. briefly and hugs all around. So. Much. Fun.!! I ubered back because I was very tired. On the long walk over, someone complimented me on all the purple, and said the cranberry color last season was fantastic and he almost wore his jacket today and we would have been twinsies. Best compliment exchange ever.
We went to dinner at the Yard Cafe, because jr finally responded and we canceled on Emory’s and moved it closer to us and the baby. Lovely to meet the new cousin! I think this is the first first cousin twice removed that I remember meeting in person, but I’m probably wrong because there must have been some at various family things when I was visiting Canada as a teen.
A. and I walked around the hotel and did con parties, trivia (came in second to last as part of team Soup which was gracious enough to let us join 2/3rds of the way through), filk (briefly) and Scalzi’s Dance Party (we did a couple passes through it when A. was willing to try it for a few minutes).
