Hi! Good question.

The sentence "My husband and I used to go on more dates" is not wrong. However, if you read the question carefully, it says, "Which sentence uses 'be used to' correctly?" The sentence above does not use be used to. It uses used to do. So the correct answer for this question is actually "Stephanie is used to running several miles a day."

Tricky! Surprised
