Conjugations for devenir

Bonjour,

I was working on a quiz and I put "La situation devienne incontrôlable" but that answer is wrong? Apparently, even though la situation is feminine, the answer is "La situation devient..."??

Why is de added to the question?

Why can’t it just be où viens tu?

Preposition for Directions

- Le soleil se lève dans l'est.

- Le soleil se lève à l'est.

Are both correct? Can you please explain why "dans" is not used? à l'est would mean 'to the east' and not 'in the east'?? - https://www.lawlessfrench.com/vocabulary/directions/

Il manque "de" or "du"?In the "Manquer de" section it says that we don't use an article so we'd use either "de" or "d'", but in the next section with impersonal structure the example given is: "Il manque du sel dans cette soupe." Since the soup "is lacking of" salt, wouldn't it just be "de sel"? Why would we use an article here?

Expressing large numbers

Why were my answers marked as wrong? Surely Six millions de dollars & Six milliards de dollars are correct.

Why no devoir in this case?

Regarding the question ?How could you say "You need a new bike." ??

I think "devoir" would be acceptable as I perceived the possibility the person used the bike as a necessary form of transportation and the bike was either to broken to repair or was used for work. In that case they would really need to replace the bike making devoir acceptable.

Or maybe I'm just reading too much into the questionÉ

Test question (my answer should be accepted)

"Je veux rien" marked as incorrect on the test.

I understand it's not the strictly proper, dictionary-perfect way to say that, but it's valid and there was no indication in the way the question was phrased that it was specifically the ne construction I was expected to use -- and nothing else.
