Une carrière vice ma carrière

Question

The English was "... choose a career".  "Choisir une carrière"  was not accepted.  Would the French always substitue a possessive pronoun for an indefinite article in such an instance ?

Hi everyone, 
Thank you for pointing this out, we have changed the English to 'my career'.
Bonne Continuation!

Hi Frank,I'm not at all sure, but what occurs to me reading the text; is that "ma carrière" would be appropriate in the context of the piece.Is it not possible for you to test this point out?Just a thought.Jim

G Barnett · Answer

ma carrière is given as the correct answer even though the text to be translated is -

"when I had to pick a career".

I too wrote une carrière and was marked incorrect.

Also, the text "I found teachers fascinating" is translated as "je trouvais mes profs fascinants".

I wrote "je trouvais les profs fascinants" and was marked incorrect.
