Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is d) We use didn't have to to talk about something that wasn't necessary or important in the past. This is used to indicate that there was no obligation or requirement to do something in the past. For example, "I didn't have to go to work yesterday because it was a public holiday" .

Options a), b), and c) are incorrect:

- Option a) is incorrect because we use "could" to talk about ability or possibility in the present or past, not about what is possible in a specific period of time. - Option b) is incorrect because we use "couldn't" to talk about what is not possible in the present or past, not about what wasn't possible in a specific period of time. - Option c) is incorrect because we use "had to" to talk about something that was necessary or important in the past, not about something that wasn't necessary or important.
