Correct Answer: I use to


Solution : The error lies in the second option.

The correct phrase for describing a past habitual action is "used to" instead of "use to". "Used to" is used to describe the past habitual actions or states that are no longer true in the present.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "When I was in 5th grade, I used to ride on my red bicycle."
