On TV, I heard
On TV I heard the sentence with 'given' but are the other 2 also correct?
Given/considering/based on how much garbage we/was generated in just one night, and how quickly they cleaned up after themselves, I'm wondering where all their garbage went.
Thank you

Yes, also correct, if different tone. "Given" and "considering" are equally informal. ) We/was -- "we" is the active construction (we know who made the mess), "was" is passive voice (so we don't know who generated the garbage).

Yes, also correct, if different tone. "Given" and "considering" are equally informal. "Based on" sounds like a more formal, logical approach (you would expect a "therefore" conclusion to this sentence.)
We/was -- "we" is the active construction (we know who made the mess), "was" is passive voice (so we don't know who generated the garbage). However, you wouldn't use "we" in this sentence

Are those words conjunctions?
Is it possible to ask you about the preposition 'on' and 'in' are they interchageable?
I am playing this game where each battle search cost 1000 dollars.
When would you use 'in' or 'on'
I have used a lot of money on/in searches.
I have used 300000 dollars on/in searches.
Whenyou use spend---> on, I know that. Wo

No, they are not. Conjunctions are words like "and" "or" "but" (there are only a handful of actual conjunctions.)
"On" and "in" are seldom interchangeable. However, they are used in several idiomatic expressions, so it is hard to always know which to use. For most cases, think of what the spacial arrangement is. "On" means "on top of" -- the bowl is on the table. "In
