Explanation:

For each word, we use its primary ACT - defined meaning to create a context - appropriate sentence.

• For "Affect": The definition is "To influence or act upon". We need to think of a situation where one thing influences another. For example, "The change in diet will affect her energy levels." Here, the diet change (cause) has an influence (affect) on her energy levels (effect).
• For "Effect": The definition is "The result or outcome of an action". "The sudden rain had an unexpected effect on the outdoor concert." The action is the sudden rain, and the result (effect) is on the outdoor concert.
• For "Past": The definition is "Refers to time gone by, or a location beyond something". "We learned about the city's past when we visited the historical museum." Here, it refers to the time gone by (history) of the city.
• For "Passed": The definition is "The past tense of the verb 'to pass' (meaning to move by, hand over, or succeed)". "She finally passed the exam after studying all night." Here, it means she succeeded in the exam (using the "succeed" meaning of "pass").
• For "Than": The definition is "Used for comparisons (Conjunction)". "I think reading a book is more relaxing than watching TV." We are comparing the relaxing nature of reading a book and watching TV.
• For "Then": The definition is "Used to indicate time, sequence, or a logical conclusion (Adverb)". "First, you mix the ingredients, and then you bake the cake." Here, it indicates the sequence of actions.
