"Gregory is going away for the holidays"

I selected "pour" yet the answer also included pendant/durant. My understanding is that the latter has to specify a time duration. But this statement doesn't. Can you explain why it can be considered a correct way to translate the sentence? Thanks. Valerie

Question is too vague

The problem I had with the question is that it did not indicate that TIME OF DAY was the topic. Strictly, this could be a question about a house or office number cruise liner cabin number or the answer to a mathematical question. I chose NOT to take the topic as being about the time of day because the question was too general to know what was the topic.
