Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. The abbreviation "e.g." means "for example" and not "however." Either #1 or # is OK.
To substitute real words for the abbreviation "e.g.", please use what SraJMcGin has told you.
#1 = For example, if we watch TV too much, we cannot do other things.
#2 = For example, if we watch too much TV, we cannot do other things.
Please note that "cannot" is spelled as one word, not two.

The abbreviation "e.g." stands for "exempli gratia," which is a Latin phrase that translates to "for example." It is used to provide an example or illustration to further clarify or support a statement.
In the given context, the correct interpretation of the sentence would be:
"Too much TV, however, takes us away from other things." This means that if we watch an excessive amount of TV, it prevents us from engaging in or accomplishing other tasks.
So, the correct interpretation in this case would be option 2:
"However, if we watch too much TV, we cannot do other things."
