3. It was very tough to ________ (rain/rein/reign) the horse.
→ To control a horse, you use reins. “Rein” is the strap. So it’s rein.

4. We will see ________ (weather/whether), we will go out today or no.
→ This means “if” — so it’s whether. (“Weather” is rain/sun.)

5. The car met with an accident as the drive could not apply the ________ (brake/break) on time
→ Cars have brakes to stop. “Break” is to smash something. So it’s brake.
