Why do you use "alors" instead of "donc"

I don't understand why you use "alors" instead of "donc". I don't get it because alors means so (then, yet) and donc means so, as well (therefore).

Finir vs Terminer

I put down "terminerai" for my last sentence, but yours showed "finirai" instead. Here, however, it is shown as "terminerai." My final score aside ;) --haha-- is there a difference between the two?
