A French billion

What do the French consider to be a billion? 100,000,000 or 1,000,000,000?

It is the tallest tree in the park.

Why is "C'est le plus grand arbre dans le parc" marked incorrect?

It is generally the way one would say it naturally, informally as opposed to the more formal/literary "C'est l'arbre le plus grand du parc".

It doesn't mean it is wrong.

Retourner faire quelque chose

First of all, is it "Vas-tu retourner à faire tes devoirs" or "Vas-tu retourner faire tes devoirs".

 Then, can respond with "Oui, j'y retourne."

Aucune n’arrivee

There seemed to be two acceptable answers. No one arrived and Nothing arrived. I picked the 2nd option thinking you could be talking about an object or things possibly you were waiting to receive in the mail. Couldn’t this sentence be translated to nothing arrived especially if you were expecting a letter which is a feminine and aucune could be used as a pronoun for letter ?

Vous êtes ou vous avez monté la colline en courant?

The quiz response was, "vous avez", but every other translation engine I have used says that "vous êtes" is correct.  That would seem correct as the verb has no direct object (I don't think "the stairs" is a direct object).

Can you explain?

Unstudied subjects

I'm working my way through grammar topics in my French course, and I'm finding it a little difficult to isolate which topics I haven't got a 100% score yet. When I go to the FRENCH GRAMMAR LESSONS library, is there a filter or something that shows you only those lessons which you haven't practiced and/or completed?
