I thought sortir needed to be followed by "de" to express the idea of "leaving".?

The quiz question was:

How would you say "They are leaving soon".

The two correct responses were:

Ils partent bientôt.

Ils sortent bientôt.

I didn't choose the one containing sortent because the "de" was missing and I took it to mean they are going out soon.

Could someone please clarify this.

Le chat, auquel tu as fait peur, s'est caché sous le lit.I notice in the above examples, that the sentence talking about a cat is only translated using auquel. Is 'à qui' not applicable here? Is a cat not treated as a living thing in this instance? Thanks for your help!

Qu'est-ce que c'est la Sorbonne

This is still being marked as incorrect. If it is, please explain clearly why; if it is not please fix the problem with the questions related to this topic - it is confusing enough to follow without having repeated confusion added by incorrect marking. I have checked previous answers and it was stated that it was correct but marked wrong for repeating words from the question - but the question was to write "What is the Sorbonne" in French. Fairly difficult to leave Sorbonne out of the answer.
