NOTAS:
1. Para la respuesta 5 hay dos alternativas: el infinitivo 'look up to', si consideramos la omisión de 'I used to', o la forma de pasado simple 'looked up to', si suponemos que la estructura 'used to' afecta solo al verbo 'respect'.
• I used to respect David and (I) really (used to) look up to him, and I could turn to him if I had a problem, but not now.
• I used to respect David and really looked up to him, and I could turn to him if I had a problem, but not now.

➤ TRADUCCIÓN
A: He discutido con David, mi hermano mayor, y ahora no nos hablamos.
B: ¡Oh, no! Pero tú sueles llevarte muy bien con él. Y cuando discuten/discutís, siempre [se reconcilian]/[os reconciliáis] después.
A: Bueno, sí, generalmente sí. Pero él está diciendo cosas desagradables sobre Ben.
B: ¿Ben... tu novio?
A: Sí... exactamente. Y yo no pude soportarlo más. No sé por qué tiene que hablar mal de Ben. Ben siempre ha sido amable con él. Yo solía respetar a David y realmente lo admiraba, y podía recurrir a él si yo tenía un problema, pero ahora no.
A: Si le explicaras todo esto a tus padres, ¿lo regañarían por ello?
B: Lo hicieron... pero creo que eso ha empeorado las cosas.
Saludos. ✨

Con respecto a tu pregunta sobre el crucigrama, ¿podrías subir una imagen, por favor? Es muy difícil resolver un crucigrama 'a ciegas'. Tienes que tomar una foto o hacer una captura del crucigrama, guardarla en tu computadora y luego, adjuntarla en tu pregunta usando el simbolito del clip (= sujetapapeles).
