Would you say squash or swat for number 4 and for umber 3 would it be WHAT do you care or WHY do you care?

Hi,

Would you say squash or swat for number 4

If I put my thumb on it and pressed, I'd say 'squashed'. If I swung a rolled-up newpaper and hit it, I'd say 'swatted'.

and for umber 3 would it be WHAT do you care or WHY do you care?

Both are fine, and there is not a lot of difference, especially in the casual kind of speech that you usually ask about.
