Correct Answer: used to play


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Explanation : The original sentence has a grammatical error with the phrase "used to played". The corrected version is "used to play", which is the appropriate structure for expressing past habitual actions. When "used to" is used in the sentence to refer to a past action, the following verb should be in its base form.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "When I was eight years old, I used to play with toys."
