Answer:
A: Video games have negative effects on teenagers.
Explanation:
The question what the author's overall opinion on video games is. So, the reader should find the main idea of the passage. Throughout the text, the author brings up many problems video games cause like lack of activity, lack of friends, and worse grades. The author also brings up more effects video games have. Since the majority of the text is about overall negative effects on teenagers it is clear that A is correct. Additionally, much of the author's dictation has negative connotations. So, it is safe to say that they do not support video games. This is another indicator of the author's viewpoint.
I think it's B. Possibly.

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".
False. If you wait until the test or final exam you wouldn't have learned anything. If you ask someone for help or try to learn how to do something then you have a greater chance of learning something.
Answer:
Today, after many days, I can finally identify my feeling. Obviously, I feel lonely, very lonely, because the children who used to play in my garden nowadays don't do it anymore.
Every year, with the arrival of spring, those little ones came to my home to play, have fun and laugh, full of life. But this year, unexpectedly, that didn't happen and I don't know why. And I don't know why for so long I scared and scared them away, when they were just pure, happy and friendly.
Today, I just want those little ones to come back and fill my garden with joy. I just wish I could make amends for so many years of mistreatments, and let those happy children share their kindness with me.
