    Explanation
    The sentence "More and more students have their own computers at home or even laptops, so that they can do online research for projects and assignments" fits the gap because it provides additional information about the role of technology in the lives of students. It explains that many students now have their own computers or laptops, which allows them to conduct online research for their projects and assignments. This supports the idea that technology plays a large part in the lives of students today.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    I did my homework last night so I can play football today.  ALREADY  I ……………………… my homework so I can play football today.

    Correct Answer
    have already done, 've already done
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have already done, 've already done". This is because the phrase "have already done" is the present perfect tense of the verb "do", indicating that the homework was completed in the past. The contraction "'ve" is short for "have" and is used in informal speech. So, the complete sentence would be "I have already done my homework so I can play football today."
