Preview: Explanations
1."would spend"(b)
'Would spend' describes a past repeated action. 'When I was a teenager' provides the past time context. Playing video games was a habitual activity, not a state.
2."is used to"(a)
'Is used to seeing' means she is accustomed to it as part of her job. This is about her current state of familiarity, not a past habit.
3."used to"(c)
'Used to own' describes a past state (possession). Owning a farm is a state, not a repeated action, so 'would' cannot be used here.
4."is used to"(b)
'Is used to driving' means he is accustomed to it. 'For twenty years' confirms this is a well-established familiarity.
5."got used to"(d)
'Got used to' means she became accustomed over time. 'Hard at first' and 'eventually' show the gradual adaptation process.
