Answer

\(\boxed{\text{(4) absolutely convergent}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :First, we will determine the convergence of each series using the appropriate tests:

Step 2 :For series (1), we can use the comparison test.

Step 3 :For series (2), we can use the limit comparison test with the series \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\).

Step 4 :For series (3), we can use the alternating series test.

Step 5 :For series (4), we can use the ratio test.

Step 6 :Applying these tests, we find the following results:

Step 7 :The series \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty \ln \left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)\) diverges.

Step 8 :The series \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty(-1)^{n} \frac{n+1}{n \sqrt{n}}\) is conditionally convergent.

Step 9 :The series \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty(-1)^{n} \sin \left(\frac{1}{n^{2}}\right)\) is absolutely convergent.

Step 10 :The series \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty(-1)^{n} \frac{2021^{n}}{2022^{n}+2020^{n}}\) is absolutely convergent.

Step 11 :\(\boxed{\text{Final Answer:}}\)

Step 12 :\(\boxed{\text{(1) diverges}}\)

Step 13 :\(\boxed{\text{(2) conditionally convergent}}\)

Step 14 :\(\boxed{\text{(3) absolutely convergent}}\)

Step 15 :\(\boxed{\text{(4) absolutely convergent}}\)
