A Bit of Translation Help Please...

I got this exercise tonight, and my initial thought at the translation was "She cooked tomatoes while reading a poem." But, I didn't have those particular verbs to get that answer.

Based upon the boxes that Duo provided for the answer, I'm being told the correct translation for the exercise (according to Duo) is "She read a poem while cooking tomatoes." I pretty much guessed at what Duo was looking for, and I ended up getting it correct, only because of the boxes I had available to me.

But, I'm a bit lost. Wouldn't the answer that Duo says is correct be translated to, "Leyó un poema cocinando los tomates"? That's not even close to what the exercise reads.

I want to flag this, but I also want to be sure I'm correct. Thanks for any help.

So, where can I see this new content?

Just got this notification this morning when I opened the app. I'd seen the prior announcements, so I knew this was a possibility. But, while the image mentions to "check out the new content," I'm curious if anyone has been able to do this?

The highest CEFR score for my (Spanish) course is still 129 in Section 8. That hasn't changed. I am currently in Section 6, but I can't go look at any new content in Section 8, since I'd have to test in, and I'm certainly not going to do that. Steps in the Section 6 path still look the same.

Does anyone know what this new material is going to look like and where we'll end up seeing it? Or, can we really just go into the app somewhere to see it like it was mentioned on the graphic? I'm at a loss right now, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
