Answer 2

The questions consist of a set of fill-in-the-blank exercises commonly used in English grammar to test a learner's understanding of verb tenses. 22. The action of letter writing declining happened AFTER personal computers became widespread. So, the past simple tense "become" is used.23. This sentence requires the verb "might be" since it's expressing uncertainty, and there's no reason to use past or future tensetes.24. The blank wants a conjunction that introduces an explanatory clause. "as if" is the best choice.25. The sentence must express an uncertainty in present tense also, "could be" fills the gap perfectly.26. Speakers use 'I wish...' for regrets about the present or future. Here, the speaker regrets something he did in the past so it's "I hadn't gone".27. The omission conjunction 'If it had not been for' fits perfectly into this contextual space in abridged form as "But for".28. "Would do", this is a classic conditional sentence type 2 where if the past simple applies in the if-clause so would + infinitive applies in the main clause.29. As the sentence is hypothetical and not referring to a specific time, 'would often go' is the correct sequence.30. In keeping with contextual tone, 'usually' makes the best sense grammically and logically displaying periodic measurement of time.31. Regarding past events, it would make perfect sense to employ "found".32. Here "it was" fits perfectly to discuss how the subject found it difficult to be away from their family.33. "I'll" is the correct form since the speaker is making plans and deliberating intentions within the near or far future.34. This is talking about a planned intention, hence "I" and "to" can be used to form the infinitive verb structure. Thus, "to" is the correct answer.
