“The mitomum supplies the child’s mitochondria. (1) are tiny structures, present in most cells, that liberate usable energy from food and oxygen. People (2) defective mitochondria suffer debilitating illness and often die young because the tissues of their bodies are starved of the energy they need to work. Mitochondrial diseases (3) hereditary, and at the moment incurable. Mitochondrial donation is designed to prevent them by replacing faulty mitochondria with healthy ones.
But mitochondria are, or used to be, creatures in their own right. They are the descendants of ancient bacteria that once lived free, but then entered into a symbiotic union with other cells. As such they have their own tiny genomes, separate from the main genome in the host cell’s nucleus. A baby born through mitochondrial donation would thus inherit maternal nuclear DNA, paternal nuclear DNA and a helping of mitochondrial DNA from the mitomum.”
(The economist)

Text IV
“Suddenly, it seemed that there WAS no gold left in the ground. The miners [TO PACK] their tools, their pans, and their bags, and [TO GO] off somewhere else, to try their luck again. There WERE no more emigrants either; as soon as the first transcontinental railroad had opened in 1869, the old emigrant trails had been completely abandoned. The hotels closed, the shops closed, the bars closed, the jail closed; and before long, Atlantic City WAS a ghost town, uninhabited except by the occasional rancher or hunter, and the wandering coyotes. I didn't expect to find much in Atlantic City. I knew that a few people lived there again now, some of the old houses had been restored, and others had been built. But I didn't expect much. We drove round a dusty bend, and there in front of us lay the town, a couple of dozen wooden buildings, some old, some new, and mostly pretty plain.”
(Linguapress)
In the sentence “We drove round a dusty bend, and there in front of us lay the town, a couple of dozen wooden buildings”, the verb ‘drove’ is the simple past of which verb:

Heroes and celebrities
Back in the twentieth century there was a British punk rock song that repeated over and over again the claim that there were "no more heroes anymore". Calmer critics and social commentators have agreed that the age of the hero is over. In the past people had heroes. They were the most prominent figures in the public consciousness - people who had achieved great things, people who had done great deeds - proud, noble leaders and bold pioneers.
The myth of the hero, though, could not survive when public life came to be dominated by the mass media. The mass media killed off the heroes and replaced them with celebrities. To become a celebrity what matters is not so much the greatness of what you have done but the exposure you are given (I) the media.
The mass media is not solely responsible for the death of the hero. A democratic culture also undermines the idea that certain individuals carry a divine spark and are therefore in a category superior to that of the rest of us. No one deserves to be worshipped and there is a revulsion at the idea of bending the knee and kissing the hand of another individual.
The critical gaze of the psychologist and sociologist have also entered public consciousness, adding to the forces tearing down the statues of the past. The drives of a great individual are seen to have their roots in an unhappy youth, an obsession with his mother or being spurned by a lover; and his great ambition is said to stem from an early inability to simply hang out with the boys and have a good time. The achievements remain but the man himself emerges from the analysis without a shred of nobility.
The pronoun “their” in the last paragraph is referring to:

“Nowadays, people who like to work longer than their work hour are called workaholics. I do not know people like that. Usually they enjoy working hard no matter how money they make. It is known that people who work too tend to not spend time with their friends and family. Also, workaholic people can develop diseases related to stress in the workplace, which can only show up years later”.

“Since the late 1980s, there has been strong popular interest in the subject of working hours and in the socalled workaholic. There has been less interest in the academic literature on the subject of long working hours and the motivations of those who work beyond the limits of what is necessary. This study proposes a typology of those who put in excessive time and effort by introducing a second dimension: equity of perceived rewards. The new dimension points to another group alongside workaholics: overworkers. One hundred seventy-four managers and professionals with master of business administration degrees rated themselves on work and reward dimensions and provided data about work behaviors, rewards, attitudes, and job progression as part of a longitudinal study. Overworkers and workaholics [TO FIND] to differ on a number of dimensions. Implications for these groups, including their potential roles in the context of boundaryless careers, and for the organizations that employ them are discussed”.

Read the article below and answer the question.
What we [TO LEARN] about Pluto: Smaller moons spin sideways, and rapidly
The four small moons of Pluto turned out to be brighter and smaller than expected and spin quickly. Their axes are also tipped sideways, a configuration that defies easy explanation.
Pluto and its miniature planetary system are believed to have coalesced out of a cataclysmic collision earlier in the history of the solar system. Over time, the rotation of moons tend to become gravitationally locked so that the same side of the moon is always facing the planet. That occurred with Charon.
But the four smaller moons — Nix, Hydra, Styx and Kerberos — are tiny and (I) away. A month before the flyby, two astronomers suggested, based on years of Hubble photographs, that Nix and Hydra, appeared to be rotating chaotically, jostled by the competing gravitational pulls of Pluto and Charon. They also said that Kerberos was markedly darker than the other three.
The New Horizons photographs [TO SHOW] otherwise. None of the moons appear to be rotating chaotically, and their spin is faster than expected, not at all locked to their orbital periods, which range from 20 to 38 days. Hydra spins fastest, at once every 10 hours. Kerberos turns out not to be dark; the four small moons are all brighter and smaller than previously estimated, ranging in reflectivity between fresh concrete and fresh snow.
The rotation of the small moons are also tipped over, almost at 90-degree angles from what would be expected. “We have no idea what that means yet,” Dr. Spencer said.
One of the astronomers who reported the chaotic rotations, Mark R. Showalter of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., said that the New Horizons’ observations surprised him, and that he was working on reconciling them with what Hubble had seen.

In the title, the correct form of the verb TO LEARN is:
