V辞書形 + たびに means 'every time X happens, Y.' 読むたびに、違った印象を受ける means 'every time I read it, I get a different impression.' This fits perfectly.

• 1ばかりに means 'just because / on account of (doing something that led to a bad result).' 読むばかりに would mean 'just because I read it,' which doesn't fit the context of getting different impressions each time.
• 2とおりに means 'as / according to.' 読むとおりに would mean 'as one reads,' which doesn't convey 'every time.'
• 4ほかに means 'besides / other than.' 読むほかに would mean 'besides reading,' which is grammatically and semantically wrong here.

• 〜たびに — every time ~ happens (V辞書形 + たびに)
• 〜ばかりに — just because ~ (led to a negative result)
• 〜とおりに — as, according to

The pattern 〜以上（は） means 'since / now that (I said) ~, (I must/can't) ~.' 一人でやると言った以上 means 'since I said I'd do it alone.' The logical conclusion is that one cannot ask others for help. 頼めない is the potential negative form of 頼む ('cannot ask'), which fits: 'since I said I'd do it alone, I can't ask other people.'

• 2頼みたい means 'want to ask.' This contradicts the meaning of 一人でやると言った以上 ('since I said I'd do it alone'), which implies one should NOT ask others.
• 3頼むしかない means 'have no choice but to ask.' This is the opposite of what the sentence implies — saying you'll do it alone means you should NOT rely on others.
• 4頼んだ is the past tense ('asked'). This doesn't fit grammatically or logically after には in this context.

• 頼たのむ — to ask (someone to do something), to rely on
• 〜以上（は）（〜いじょう（は）） — since / now that ~ (implies a strong obligation or conclusion)

The pattern V辞書形 + わけにはいかない means 'cannot (for social, moral, or circumstantial reasons).' 見逃すわけにはいかない means 'we cannot overlook (his irresponsible action).' This is a fixed grammatical expression.

• 1ことにはいかない is not a valid grammatical pattern. The correct pattern uses わけ.
• 2ものにはいかない is not a valid grammatical pattern. もの is used in patterns like ものだ ('it is natural to ~') but not here.
• 4はずにはいかない is not a valid grammatical pattern. はず is used for expectation/likelihood, not for this 'cannot' expression.

• 見逃みのがす — to overlook, to let pass
• 無責任むせきにん — irresponsible
• 〜わけにはいかない — cannot ~ (for social/moral/circumstantial reasons)

〜せいか means 'perhaps because ~ / probably due to ~.' 年をとったせいか means 'perhaps because I've gotten older,' which fits the sentence: 'perhaps because I've gotten older, I wake up early in the morning.' The か adds uncertainty ('perhaps'), making it natural for describing a suspected cause.

• 1最中（さいちゅう）means 'in the middle of ~-ing.' 年をとった最中 would mean 'in the middle of getting old,' which is unnatural and doesn't explain waking up early.
• 3うえで means 'after doing ~ (then do something).' 年をとったうえで would mean 'after getting older, then...' which doesn't fit the causal relationship here.
• 4すえに means 'in the end / after all.' 年をとったすえに would mean 'in the end, after getting old,' which implies a long process with a final result, not a causal explanation for waking up early.

• 〜せいか — perhaps because ~ / probably due to ~
• 目が覚める（めがさめる） — to wake up
• 最中さいちゅう — in the middle of ~-ing
• 〜すえに — in the end, after all (a long process)

〜おきに means 'at intervals of ~.' 8時間おきに means 'every 8 hours (i.e., at 8-hour intervals),' which is the correct expression for taking medicine at regular intervals.

• 2うちに means 'while / during ~.' 8時間うちに would mean 'within 8 hours,' which doesn't express the idea of taking medicine at regular intervals.
• 3までに means 'by ~.' 8時間までに would mean 'by 8 hours,' which is grammatically odd here and doesn't convey the interval meaning.
• 4ずつに is incorrect. ずつ means 'each / apiece' (distributing equally), used for quantities like 一つずつ ('one each'). It is not used for time intervals. 8時間ずつ would mean '8 hours each,' which is unnatural for medicine dosage instructions.

• 〜おきに — at intervals of ~ (e.g., every N hours/days)
• 〜ずつ — each, apiece (distributive; not for intervals)
• 〜うちに — while ~, during ~

The correct order is: 確か『わかる』 [2.という][★3.ような][1.意味だった][4.と思う] んですけど。『〜というような意味だったと思う』means 'I think it was a meaning like ~.' The full sentence means: 'If I remember correctly, I think it had a meaning like わかる (to understand).' The ★ position is filled by ような, which connects という to 意味だった to form というような意味 (a meaning like ~).

• 1意味だった cannot go at the ★ position. 意味だった must come after ような to form ような意味だった (it was a meaning like ~), which is then followed by と思うんですけど (I think that ~).
• 2という cannot go at the ★ position. という must directly follow 『わかる』to form 『わかる』という (called/said ~), which then connects to ような.
• 4と思う cannot go at the ★ position. と思う must come at the end, after 意味だった, to form 意味だったと思うんですけど (I think it was a meaning ~).

• 〜というような意味（〜というようないみ） — a meaning like ~; a meaning of the kind called ~
• 確たしか — if I remember correctly; surely

The correct order is: 毎年、合格者の80パーセントが [1.実務経験者という][3.ことからすると][★4.未経験者の][2.わたしが] この試験に合格するのは簡単ではないだろう。『〜ということからすると』means 'considering that ~ / judging from the fact that ~.' The full sentence means: 'Considering that 80% of those who pass each year are people with practical experience, it probably won't be easy for me, an inexperienced person, to pass this exam.' The ★ position is filled by 未経験者の, which modifies わたしが to form 未経験者のわたしが (I, an inexperienced person).

• 1実務経験者という cannot go at the ★ position. 実務経験者という must come before ことからすると to form 実務経験者ということからすると (considering that they are people with practical experience).
• 2わたしが cannot go at the ★ position. わたしが must come after 未経験者の to form 未経験者のわたしが (I, an inexperienced person), serving as the subject of 合格する.
• 3ことからすると cannot go at the ★ position. ことからすると must follow 実務経験者という to form 〜ということからすると (considering/judging from the fact that ~).

• 〜ということからすると — considering the fact that ~; judging from the fact that ~
• 実務経験者じつむけいけんしゃ — person with practical/work experience
• 未経験者みけいけんしゃ — person with no experience; inexperienced person
