Why does Aunque SEA por uno minutos or Aunque ESTEMOS encerrados use subjunctive?

There is something wrong with your software.  I am doing SER conjugation in the present and select options are in english

I reported this as an issue, and perhaps should have brought it up here instead. For one of the quizzes, the answer is 

A veces __me olvido de__ que llevamos casados 20 años. (Sometimes I forget that we've been married for 20 years.)

I noticed that the verb *olvidar* is being used intransitively and that, even though the "accidental se" is being used, that olvido is not in the third person. (It's not in the preterite / no accent on the o). I'm having trouble finding an example of this on the lesson page. 

Thanks!

Couldn’t “decorate it for yourself” also be a correct choice if the implied pronoun/antecedent is “usted?”

I can’t see why “usted” wouldn’t be as valid as “él/ella/ellos/ellas” for this construction. 

Porque “..era un caballero medieval” pero “fue un héroe nacional..”

Are desde and de interchangeable. For ex, I saw him from a distance. Would both work?

Lo vi desde una distancia. 

From the quiz:

Ben ________ la alarma.

Write ''Ben had been woken up by the alarm.

había sido despertado por

Could I also say, "A Ben le había despertado la alarma."?

Thank you.
