Solutions: 1. وَ 2. أَوْ 3. حَتَّى 4. وَ 5. أَوْ

Explanations: 1. The sentence is comparing two things, books and movies, so we use the conjunction "وَ" (wa) meaning "and" to join them together. 2. The sentence presents a choice between two options, tea and coffee, so we use the conjunction "أَوْ" (aw) meaning "or." 3. The sentence indicates a time until a specific action took place, so we use the conjunction "حَتَّى" (ḥattā) meaning "until." 4. The sentence describes two characteristics of the weather, hot and dry, so we use the conjunction "وَ" (wa) meaning "and" to join them together. 5.

Explanations: 1. The sentence indicates a consequence, studying for hours leading to passing the exam, so we use the conjunction "إِذَنْ" (idhan) meaning "so." 2. The sentence presents a contrasting statement, the person loving reading books but not liking writing, so we use the conjunction "بَسْ" (bas) meaning "but." 3. The sentence presents a choice between two options, the beach and the mountains, so we use the conjunction "أَوْ" (aw) meaning "or." 4.
