Answer 1

Answer:

B. Had great value

Explanation:

The words that are underlined in sentence 2 are were really cool. This type of language, which we usually use in everyday conversations with our friends, isn't used in informational texts, i.e. texts that give us information about a certain topic. Instead, we should use more formal language. The best substitute would be the words had great value.

Option A is incorrect because it also contains informal language (totally useful - very useful would be better).

Option C also isn't formal enough (had a ton of uses - had many uses is a better version).

Option D is incorrect because the given combination of words isn't correct. Something can't be way important. It can just be very important.

This is why option B is correct.
