Can someone explain to me why these answers are incorrect? then explain the correct the answer?

They are incorrect because they add an extra word to them plus it would not sound right if it said I worked on my homework since of 5 in this case you would take out "of" same with spanish you would not add " hace" into the sentence

desde hace basically is a 2 word you add to when it's past tense
