1."Could"(b)
We ask about past ability using 'Could'. 'When you were five years old' signals past time. 'Could you swim when you were five years old?'
2."Can"(d)
'Can I...?' is a common way to ask for permission in informal situations. 'Can I borrow your pen for a moment?'
3."Are"(a)
'Be going to' needs the correct form of 'be'. 'They' takes 'Are'. 'Are they going to move to a new house next month?'
4."can't"(d)
The question uses 'Can...?', so the negative short answer is 'No, she can't.' Match the modal: can → can't.
5."Will"(b)
'Tomorrow morning' signals future, and the speaker needs to confirm a commitment. 'Will you be at the meeting tomorrow morning?'
