Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Sentence 2: The first two items start with "Do check", so the third item should also follow the same structure.
  • Sentence 3: The first two items are gerunds (skiing, hiking), so the third item should also be a gerund.
  • Sentence 4: The first two sentences are in past tense (walked, put), so the third sentence should also be in past tense.
  • Sentence 5: The prepositions "past", "around", and "through" should be followed by the same structure (noun phrases).
