Formação
- N + を + V
Explicação
を marks the direct object: the thing that the action is done to (what you eat, what you watch, and so on). It comes right after the noun, in the pattern N を V, with the verb at the end. It is pronounced o, the same as お, but the particle is always written を. To ask about the object, say 何を 〜ますか (What do you ...?).
Exemplos

I drink coffee every morning.

Lin-san does not eat meat.
A: 今晩 何を しますか。
B: 日本語の 宿題を します。A: What will you do tonight? B: I'll do my Japanese homework.
明日 切符を 買います。
I will buy the ticket tomorrow.
Observações
When you add も, it replaces を: パンも 食べます (I eat bread, too). を can also mark the place you move through, as in 公園を 散歩します (take a walk in the park).

1私は 毎晩 テレビ（ ） 見ます。
Resposta e explicação
Resposta: 3 を
"I watch TV every evening." テレビ is the thing that is watched, the direct object of 見ます, so it takes を. の, か and に cannot mark the object.
2私は 毎朝 ＿＿ ＿＿ ＿★＿ ＿＿。
Resposta e explicação
Resposta: 2 新聞を
The correct order is 4→3→2→1: 私は 毎朝 日本語の 新聞を 読みます (I read a Japanese newspaper every morning). The object 新聞を comes before the verb, so ★ is 新聞を.
3A: 明日 何を しますか。
B: （ ）。
Resposta e explicação
Resposta: 4 テニスを します
A asks "What will you do tomorrow?" The answer names the activity with を and the verb: テニスを します (I'll play tennis). A question with 何 cannot be answered with はい, and です cannot come between the noun and the verb.
