- D. look (doesn't fit the context)
**Blank 20**:

- A. off (not correct in this context)
- B. of (correct: "full of" is the correct phrase)
- C. with (not the right preposition here)
- D. for (doesn't fit the context)
**Blank 21**:
The sentence compares the ease with which teenagers use technology to that of older generations.
- A. their (this would be correct if it matched the subject "mums and dads and grandparents")

- D. its (incorrect as it is singular and does not match the plural subjects)
**Blank 22**:

- B. quality (incorrect; "quality" refers to the standard of something)
- C. facility (incorrect; "facility" refers to a place or the ease of doing something)
- D. ability (correct: "ability" refers to the capability to do something)
Therefore, the correct answers are:
19. A. invent
