Sure! Let's solve the exercise step by step.

1. The sentence is "Tom is one year old. He can draw, but he can't write."
In this sentence, we need to use "can" or "can't" to talk about Tom's abilities to do certain things. We also have two verbs to choose from: "draw" and "write". The sentence tells us that Tom is one year old, and we know that at this age, children are generally still developing their motor skills and learning to hold a pen properly. However, they can often make simple drawings. So, we can say "Tom can draw" because he has the ability to make drawings, but we need to use "can't" for "write" because it's a more complex skill that he hasn't developed yet. Therefore, the correct answer for this sentence is "Tom is one year old. He can draw, but he can't write."

2. The sentence is "Harry can speak French, but he ___ Italian."
Here, we need to fill in the blank with the correct form of "can" or "can't" and choose between "speak" or "play". The sentence tells us that Harry can speak French, so he has the ability to speak a foreign language. We have a choice between "speak" and "play" for the second part. However, since Italian is a language, we need to use the verb "speak". Therefore, the correct answer for this sentence is "Harry can speak French, but he can't speak Italian."

3. The sentence is "I never go to night clubs because ___."
To complete this sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "can" or "can't" and the verb "dance". The sentence states that the reason for not going to night clubs is related to the ability to do something. If someone doesn't go to night clubs, it's likely because they can't dance or don't enjoy it. Therefore, the correct answer for this sentence is "I never go to night clubs because I can't dance."

4. The sentence is "'What's that terrible noise?' 'It's Max. He ___."
To fill in the blank in this sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "can" or "can't" and the verb "drive". The question asks about the source of a noise, and the answer reveals that Max is the one making the noise. The verb we need to use is related to the ability to create a noise. We know that Max is the source of the noise, so he must be doing something that generates it. Therefore, the correct answer for this sentence is "'What's that terrible noise?' 'It's Max. He can drive."

5. The sentence is "Sue is really into sport. She ___ football and ___ athletics."
To complete this sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "can" or "can't" and the verbs "play" and "play". The first part tells us that Sue is really interested in sports. For the second part, we need to list the sports she can play. Based on the sentence, we don't have any information about Sue's inability to play these sports. Therefore, the correct answer for this sentence is "Sue is really into sport. She can play football and she can play athletics."

6. The sentence is "He ___ a car, but he wants to learn."
To fill in the blank, we need to choose the correct form of "can" or "can't" and the verb "drive". The sentence tells us that the person mentioned doesn't have a car currently but wants to learn to do something related to cars. Since the person wants to learn how to drive, it means they don't currently possess the ability to do so. Therefore, the correct answer for this sentence is "He can't drive a car, but he wants to learn."

7. The sentence is "She's only four years old, but she ___ the piano."
To complete this sentence, we need to choose the correct form of "can" or "can't" and the verb "play". The sentence tells us that the person mentioned is four years old, which is quite young. However, some children start learning to play the piano at a young age. So, we can assume that she has the ability to play it. Therefore, the correct answer for this sentence is "She's only four years old, but she can play the piano."
