Explanation:

Question 1

The passage talks about YouTube's usefulness, like helping with fixing things. The example of changing windshield wipers is given to show how YouTube videos (with steps) help, matching option d. Option a is wrong as it's about showing help, not difficulty. Option b is wrong as popularity of the video isn't the point. Option c is wrong as no tips are given, just an example of help.

In the passage, "taxing" is used to describe a task someone might attempt after checking YouTube. The context is tasks that seem overwhelming (like changing wipers) but YouTube helps. So "taxing" here means difficult. Option a (charging) is unrelated. Option b (tiring) is about fatigue, not difficulty. Option c (regular) is opposite. So d is correct.

Answer:

d. To give an example of how YouTube videos can be helpful.
