mobile phones, text messages (3) used very often. Now, millions of
text messages (4)
sent every day. Information (5)
written
by using the numbers on the phone to make words. People like text messages

I asked the director whether he would be able to do it.
Правильный ответ: D.

Перевод предл.: Я спросил директора/режиссёра, сможет ли он сделать это.

Это косвенная речь (indirect speech), тут согласование времён. Переведём сначала предложение в прямую речь (direct speech):
I asked the director: "Will you be able to do it?". Сказуемое asked у нас в времени — в Past Simple, поэтому в косвенной речи will становится would.
Whether — это как частичка "ли" в русском языке. Так или иначе, whether является синонимом if, поэтому можно whether заменять на if, если хотите.

Если остались вопросы, обращайтесь.

My name is Kate and I would like to tell you a horrible story. One night it seemed to me that there was someone besides me in my room. I opened my eyes and saw a woman's shade at the window . She was very tall, thin with xanthous hair and she stretched out her arms to me. I was scared and I screamed so loud as I could. I was sitting on the bed and crying. Suddenly my parents quickly ran into my room. They were very frightened. Dad turned on the light, and I stopped screaming. It turned out that in the afternoon, my uncle Jack who works at the Zoo brought a huge palm tree in a large pot from the hall into my room and she put it behind the green curtains. That night there was full moon, and it seemed to me that it was a woman... I have never been so bad as that night
