I'm sorry, but this is a terrible example sentence. Who on earth would refer to walking their dog as "taking a walk with" their dog? The dog has no independence. It doesn't join you for a walk the same way your friend Julie might.
The example sentence should be changed to:
Anne et Antoine promènent leur chien.
You can have the same answer choices, but the correct answer would be "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." Which is a sentence you might say in real life, as opposed to "They're taking a walk with their dog" which no one said ever.

Can someone explain why this is the case? Why the "on" form for "nous"? Thanks!
Quelle est la différence entre les mots "shooter" and "shot" ? Les deux options ont été présentées dans les réponses. L’un est-il utilisé avec des noms et l’autre avec des verbes ? ("Shooter" was given as an option when using "pour la digestion" [what I used] and "shot" when using "digérer").
