B.
used to

Answer 1

The word that correctly completes the sentence is "used to". The correct answer is option B. The complete sentence would be, "In the eighteenth century, people used to ride horses for everyday transportation". We used the words "used to" because it refers to an habitual action in the past, that is no longer done at present.
