(1) Why is "de" used in the clause "nous n'avions pas d'autre choix que de succomber à" before "succomber"? When is it used this way?

(2) Is it permissible to write "nous devions aller visiter" instead of "il fallait que nous allions visiter" in this context? When must one or the other be used?

Why only fortement is correct? Fort can also be used an adverb.

The answer to the imperative of this sentence is given to be "Ne te lave pas". Why isn't it "ne te laves pas"?

Why is it not 'qui ne la mangeraient pas'...?

Thank you 

Ou de rien pour pas de problème ou non?

Why "Je vais chez le boucher" and not "Je vais au boucher" when for going to boulangerie and marché, the answers are " je vais à la boulangerie" and "je peux aller au marché"? Are there certain places we need to use "chez" instead of  "à"?
