Nous sommes professeurs

In a very recent quiz, the possible people the above statement referred to were a) two males b) a male and female c) two females. I got it wrong as I did not click on option c). As Chris mentioned (below) if there is a trend to gender this noun, should "professeure/s" be used or mentioned as an alternative? ( It did appear in Google translate)

Why is this wrong?

Can anybody explain why this is wrong?.. I can see pour as an alternative but why is pendant wrong here as it is, surely, expressing a duration.

Par exemple, la semaine prochaine, pendant Pâques, nous ferons une chasse aux œufs en français !

Giving "pour" as correct.

objections to the tower

Il y avait une opposition considérable à la construction de la tour. De nombreux artistes et écrivains étaient contre le projet mais la popularité de la tour et de l'exposition a fait taire les objections.
