Explanation:
First, let's understand why we can't change numbers 1 and 5. "Used to" can be employed to refer to habitual actions in the past, that is, actions that happened frequently. In numbers 1 and 5, we are talking about a single action that happened at a specific time in the past, not about actions that happened often. Therefore, "used to" is not applicable to them.
All the other sentences are speaking of actions that happened often during a period of time in the past. If the sentence is affirmative, all we need to do is add "used to" before the main verb in its base form. If the sentence is negative, we use "didn't use to" before the main verb. Interrogative sentences place the auxiliary "did" before the subject, followed by "use to" and the main verb. Note that, in the negative and interrogative forms, it's "use", not "used".

REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
Good day sir, my name is Takeshi Kumamoto, a chemistry instructor in your school Great Heights Schools. As a great citadel of learning, Great Heights has always been a trailblazer, leading and others struggling to catch up. This has been made possible because of the provision of top class facilities in the school and equally qualified personnel with the school administration making sure we never lack whatever we need to move the school higher.
However, we have gotten to a point where I need your financial assistance in upgrading our chemistry laboratory with newer and better equipment so our students would remain competitive among their peers and learn more effectively.
There is need to replace the bunsen burners because the ones available are old and give inaccurate readings when we perform chemical experiments. There is also a need for new litmus paper, beakers, test tubes, crucibles, conical flasks, etc.
These equipments need to be replaced or new ones added to our chemical laboratory.
Many thanks as you review this application.
