Michael could not imagine his life without computers. His parents _________ him his first computer at the age of seven.

1. Michael could not imagine his life without computers. His parents bought him his first computer at the age of seven. (Past Simple: buy -> bought) 2. It took him several days to learn how to use it. (Comparative: fast -> faster) 3. His mum said that younger people were much children than adults at learning computer skills. Wait, let me re-read the sentence. Ah, "children" doesn't fit contextually. Let me look at the word: "CHILD". Actually, the sentence is "His mum said that younger people were much faster than adults..." No, looking at the word "CHILD", it should be "more child-like"? No, that's weird. Perhaps the word is "CHILD" and the intended word is "CHILDREN". Or maybe "CHILDISH"? Actually, looking at the sentence "His mum said that younger people were much ... than adults at learning computer skills." The word provided is "CHILD". It's likely "children". Wait, checking the grammar: "younger people were much ..." Maybe it's "more like children"? No, let's re-examine the context. The word is "CHILD". Could it be "better"? No. Let's assume the word is "children". Actually, in many English textbooks, this might be a typo for "childish" or just "children". Given the context of learning skills, maybe it means "more childlike"? Let's stick to a grammatical fit: "more like children". Actually, re-reading the text, maybe it's just a test of word forms. Let's provide the most logical completion based on the prompt's structure: "more like children" or simply "children". Let's re-read: "His mum said that younger people were much children than adults". This is grammatically incorrect. Let's assume the word "CHILD" should be changed to "faster"? No, "fast" is already used in the previous sentence. Let's look at the photo again. Ah, "fast" is line 2. The word for line 3 is "CHILD". Perhaps "more child-like"? Let's provide: "more like children". 4. That was probably true – most children in Michael's class were very competent computer users. (Wait, the line is: "That was probably true – most _____ in Michael's class were very competent computer users." The word is "CHILD". So it should be "children".) 5. Michael was really surprised to find out that the first personal computer was invented in the 70s of the last century. (Passive voice: invent -> was invented) 6. "And how did you chat or send your e-mails without computers?" he asked his mother. She smiled: "We did not send each other e-mails. And there were no networks." (Negative past: not send -> did not send) 7. She also said that it was fun to communicate face-to-face, to play out-of-doors and to visit friends’ homes. (Past tense: be -> was) 8. "But if there were no computers, I wouldn’t be able to communicate with my friends who live far away from me," Michael replied. (Conditional: be -> were) 9. "True. Technological progress is a great thing," his mother said. "And I think people will create even more amazing communication devices in the future." (Future Simple: create -> will create)
