The sentence means 'This morning I returned the books to the library.' The verb かえしました (返しました) is the transitive verb 'to return (something to someone/somewhere),' which takes a direct object (ほんを). This fits perfectly: ほんをかえしました = 'returned the books.'

• 1かけました (掛けました) means 'hung (something up).' You don't hang books at a library.
• 2かちました (勝ちました) means 'won.' This does not fit the context of books at a library.
• 3かえりました (帰りました) means 'went home / returned (home).' It is intransitive and cannot take ほんを as a direct object. You cannot say ほんをかえりました.

• 返かえす — to return (something) — transitive
• 帰かえる — to go home / return — intransitive
• 掛かける — to hang (something)
• 勝かつ — to win

The sentence means 'It's already spring, isn't it. From now on, it will gradually become warm.' だんだん means 'gradually / little by little' and naturally modifies あたたかくなります ('become warm'), describing a progressive change in season.

• 1いちいち means 'one by one / in detail' and is used for enumerating items individually. It does not describe gradual change in temperature.
• 2いろいろ means 'various / all kinds of.' It does not fit the pattern of a single gradual change becoming warm.

• だんだん — gradually, little by little
• いちいち — one by one, in detail
• いろいろ — various, all kinds of

The sentence means 'Until evening, I played in the garden together with my younger sister.' あそびました (遊びました, past tense of 遊ぶ) means 'played,' which naturally fits the context of being in the garden with a sibling until evening.

• 1つとめました (勤めました) means 'worked / served (at a job).' Children don't typically 'work' in a garden with a younger sister.
• 2つくりました (作りました) means 'made / created.' While possible in some contexts, it requires a direct object (何を作りましたか), and playing in the garden is the most natural fit here.
• 4あびました (浴びました) means 'took (a bath/shower) / was exposed to.' You would say シャワーをあびました, but you don't 'あびる' in a garden with your sister.

• 遊あそぶ — to play
• 勤つとめる — to work, to serve
• 作つくる — to make, to create
• 浴あびる — to take (a bath/shower), to be exposed to

• 3テーブル means 'table.' You cannot drink a table.
• 4おべんとう (お弁当) means 'boxed lunch.' You eat it, not drink it.

• 紅茶こうちゃ — black tea
