Look, Duolingo is obviously not the only thing you use to become proficient in another language. It's not perfect, it's gamified, it's over simplified - it's a tool in the toolbox. That being said, it's helped me im

The first image, which I assume is the solution because the title is 'Reachable chess position with 218 moves for White, published by Petrović in 1964.', has no black king?
