Des or de les?

Are there times when you say "de les" instead of des? For example, in this sentence ... Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher de les manger versus Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher des manger??? Thanks for any feedback.

S'agit-il de quantités?

Pourquoi le phrase "Il s'en occupe tout de suite" veut dire "He takes care of them right away. (i.e. things)" au lieu de "He takes care of it right away" dans le test? Si je disais "Je m'occupe de mon problèm," pourrait-on utilise "en" pour remplacer le seul problèm?

Any way to exclude passé simple questions from C1 quizzes?

I don't find it helpful to learn how to conjugate in the passé simple (no plans to become a novelist). I keep getting passé simple questions in my quizzes, which is frustrating because the other C1 grammar is very useful and I want to master those things. Is there any setting that lets us include/exclude certain material from the quizzes?

Why is this incorrect?

I did a quiz and got this question: "Which of the following adjectives are correctly placed?"

un extrêmement vieux parchemin

I selected the answer above but it said it was incorrect. I thought if the adverb was 2+ syllables, then vieux would follow after. Can someone explain?

Grammer Question

Why is the question "Tu as froid?" instead of As-tu froid?"? Are both correct or is it convention?

Using avoir instead of être

Hello: I'm wondering why the two phrases "will there be" (popcorn) and "there must be" (mermaids) require avoir rather than être. "Est-ce qu'il y être" doesn't sound right, but I don't why. On the other hand, "il doit être des sirènes" sounds okay. I'd be grateful for an explanation.

Thanks so much!
