Answer

Кратко:

№ 3: 1 A, 2 D, 3 B, 4 C, 5 B.
№ 4: 1 suburbs, 2 commutes, 3 peace and quiet, 4 close-knit, 5 carefree.
Лишнее слово: appreciate.

Почему так

В № 3 надо искать не «похожее по смыслу», а подтверждение в тексте. Например, семья уже привыкла жить «как в 1950-х» — это вариант A. А общее у 1950-х и современности — интерес людей к новинкам техники, поэтому D.

В № 4 важны устойчивые сочетания: move to the suburbs — «переезжать в пригород», commute to work — «ездить на работу», peace and quiet — «тишина и покой», a close-knit family — «дружная, сплочённая семья», a carefree childhood — «беззаботное детство».

Слово appreciate («ценить, быть благодарным») в этих предложениях не подходит — оно лишнее.

Проверка: в № 2 слово commute стоит при подлежащем my father (он), поэтому добавляется -s: commutes.

Check these words — перевод:

peace and quiet — тишина и покой;

suburbs — пригород, пригороды;

commute — ездить на работу и с работы;

close-knit — дружный, сплочённый;

carefree — беззаботный;

appreciate — ценить; быть благодарным.
