Why is the possessive adjective masculine (son) before a feminine noun (trophée), please?
The quizz question is:
Elle tient son trophée. (She holds her trophy.) The exercise was conjugating tenir.

Ahhh! Yes, it does seem feminine with that ending, but in fact, c'est:
un trophée
le trophée
Hope that explains!
un trophée
le trophée
Hope that explains!

I suspected there was (another) obscure rule...
