1) Were/thare were

2)Can/couldn’t

Answer 3

1. The correct answer is "were/there were." The sentence describes the past event of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and the number of athletes from different countries. Since it refers to multiple athletes from multiple countries, the plural form "were/there were" should be used.

2. The correct answer is "can/couldn't." The sentence indicates that the person is currently able to play badminton ("I can play badminton now"), but they were not able to play it when they were 5 years old ("I couldn't play it when I was 5"). The modal verb "can" is used to express present ability, while "couldn't" is the past tense of "can't" and indicates past inability.
