| A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
A — 4: best — Контекст требует использования превосходной степени прилагательного good: good−better−(the) best: лучшие.
B — 2: spent — Контекст требует использования глагола spend в Past Simple, так как ранее в тексте используется временной маркер (time marker) Once upon a time: spent (проводили).
C — 3: was doing — Необходимо использовать глагол do в Past Continuous (was/were + Ving), на это указывает союз while и одновременное действие во второй части предложения (..., but the ant was working hard all day.): was doing (занималась, делала).
D — 1: few — Контекст требует использования квантификатора (quantifier) few (мало): very few creatures = очень немногие создания.
E — 4: couldn't — Контекст требует использования отрицательной формы глагола can в Past Simple: couldn't (не могла).
