Answer 1

Відповідь:

1. Traditionally, kids have supported their parents when they get old.

2. I don't believe that adults are as busy as they claim to be.

Answer 2

Traditionally

Claim

Explanation:

• The word "traditionally" is more appropriate in this context because it suggests that the practice of children supporting their parents when they get old has been a long-standing custom or tradition. The word "ordinary" simply means "common or usual," and it does not convey the same sense of historical continuity.
• The word "claim" is more appropriate in this context because it suggests that the adults are asserting their busy-ness as a fact. The word "pretend" implies that the adults are not being truthful about how busy they are.
