The mother-in-law, frequently of horrific (32) _______ and usually either about to visit, or being somehow driven from the house is still a favorite butt of this kind of humor. Marriage itself has been reduced to the skinny male, dominated by a massive female who habitually lies in wait with the rolling pin behind the door for the return of her drunken spouse. Children are rarely shown other than as screaming infants, or else as ill-favoured urchins who (33) _____ all their time being objectionable or asking for money. The old are simply (34) _____ as comic characters. The problem is, how do such cartoons relate to the way people truly see each other?

Đáp án B
Giải thích:
waste: (v) lãng phí
Về ngữ pháp thì waste time doing something không sai, nhưng trong trường hợp này, “lũ trẻ lãng phí thời gian” thì không hợp nghĩa bằng spend
spend: (v) dành, tiêu tốn
spend time/ money doing something: dành thời gian/ tiền bạc làm gì
spend time/money on something: dành thời gian/ tiền bạc cho việc gì
take: tốn
take time to do something: tốn thời gian làm gì
Trong câu này, đằng sau V ở dạng V_ing (being và asking) nên ta không dùng take.
pass: (v) trôi qua
time pass: thời gian trôi qua (không hợp nghĩa)
