Решение
Выбираем глагол по смыслу и определяем форму по грамматике:
Использование машин и самолётов сильно увеличивает выбросы CO₂ — increases. Подлежащее «The use» — ед. число, Present Simple, добавляем -s.
После «I don't think» и подлежащего во мн. числе (crops) глагол без -s: improve «улучшают» качество еды.
После предлога without — форма -ing: without cutting down trees «без вырубки деревьев».
Электростанция «обеспечивает» электричеством — provides (ед. число, -s).
«Habitats are …» — пассив (to be + -я форма): destroyed «уничтожаются».
«has … in recent years» — Present Perfect (have + -я форма): has decreased «уменьшилось» количество кислорода.
