Why was this marked wrong?

¿De dónde ________usted? - Yo soy de Venezuela.Where are you from? - I am from Venezuela.(HINT: Use verb "to be")

I selected "eres" and it was marked as incorrect. The correct answer is "es." How should I have know they expected a third person answer?

Hola Kurt

The pronoun that you see in the question, "usted" gives you the clue as to use the form of the verb "es", not "eres".

usted/el/ella -- you formal/he/she = de donde [es]

eres -- you informal = de donde [eres]
