Exercise 3:

e.g. played, lived, baked, pushed, etc.
However, there are some cases when we must apply some changes to the base of the verb, in order to obtain an adequate past simple form. If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant before adding -ed.
e.g. clapped, stopped, planned, etc.
