Is 痩せる really a correct answer (as bunpro suggests)? What about the て-form here? 痩せ is accepted as correct, too, but I would think that 痩せる is not correct.

Hi, @2000kanji! I believe you mentioned the example sentence on the vocabulary page for 痩せる. As you pointed out, 痩せる is not grammatically correct, but we accept it and that’s why it’s shown as an alternate answer. For vocabulary reviews, we accept both conjugated forms and plain forms because the primary purpose of the Vocab section is to memorize words without worrying about conjugation.
