1. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?
To answer this question, we need to use the present simple form. The verb "want" expresses a general desire or need and is not an action that is happening right now. So the correct form is "Do you want something to eat?"

2. Alan says he's 90 years old, but nobody believes him.
In this sentence, we are talking about a habit or a general fact that nobody believes Alan. This is something that is true in the present, so we use the present simple form. The correct form is "nobody believes" as "believe" is the present simple form.

3. She told me her name, but I don't remember it now.
In this sentence, we are talking about a current situation or state which is that I don't remember the name. This is happening now, so we use the present simple form. The correct form is "I don't remember" as "remember" is the present simple form.

4. Don't put the dictionary away. I am using it.
In this sentence, we are talking about an action that is happening right now, which is the act of using the dictionary. Therefore, we use the present continuous form. The correct form is "I am using" as "use" changes to "using" in the present continuous form.

5. Don't put the dictionary away. I need it.
In this sentence, we are talking about a general or ongoing need for the dictionary. This is not a specific action happening right now, so we use the present simple form. The correct form is "I need" as "need" is the present simple form.
