When deciding whether to use 'so' or 'because' think about if something is the result or the reason for something.
"I do my homework because it's required." = It's required. The reason they do their homework is that it's required.
"I do my homework so I can increase my knowledge" = A result. Increasing your knowledge is a result of doing homework.
For your example "I believe that pupils will do all their lessons and homework on computers, SO there will
be no more heavy books to carry." The result is that there won't be heavy books to carry.
9. Jobs is the correct word because it is a position of employment. Someone's occupation can be a teacher, but that doesn't mean they have a job. If they are unemployed (no job) they still have the occupation of Teacher as that is what they are trained in. Chores describe a task and mission wouldn't describe a teacher's job.

7 "so" is correct - "as a result"
9 If this happens, there will also be fewer (9)_jobs__for teachers. Because "jobs" is specific tasks or paid employment.
Teachers would have less of certain work since much of that work would be done online with recorded videos etc. Teaching is an "occupation", which would not change, and neither "chores" nor "missions" is good to describe the work of teaching.

Jobs. Opportunities. Both of these seem to logically fit in the blank space.
