Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

Explanation:

The modal verb "used to" is typically followed by the gerund (the -ing form of a verb) when expressing a past habit or action. So, "used to getting up early" means that in the past, the speaker had the habit of getting up early.

The other options are either incomplete or do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: We were not used to getting up early.
