Explanation
Option A: 'Should' expresses obligation or duty. It relates to the given sentence, which states that 'it's
the government's duty to do something about the problem'.
Option B: 'Must' also refers to obligation, but it is a much stronger word compared to 'should'. 'Must' is used when people are compelled to do something, or an action that is most likely going to happen.
In contrast, 'should' describes a suggestion or refers to a desirable goal.
In the context of this sentence, 'should' is more appropriate than 'must' as it refers to an opinion and is relevant to the sentence.
The sentence is complete in meaning, and hence option A is correct and B is wrong.
Option C: 'Will' refers to the future.
Option D: 'Can' refers to a possibility.
The words 'it's time' brings forth a opinion, rather than a future action (will) or possibility (can).
Hence options C and D are wrong.

Explanation
Options A and B: The words 'I think' refer to an opinion or suggestion. They are usually used when one is about to state their opinion. In that case, we use 'should'.
'Should' expresses a suggestion. It relates to the given sentence, as the subject 'I' mentions advice/suggestions. Hence, option B is correct.
'Can' expresses an ability and not a suggestion. So 'can' is not a very suitable option. Hence option A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Will' refers to a future action. In this context, it indicates a prediction of the future. The meaning thus formed is ambiguous. Hence this option isn't suitable.
Option D: 'Must' is a stronger form of 'should'. It refers to something that should be done due to necessity. This meaning isn't very suitable as the subject 'I' does not imply that 'learning a foreign language' is a necessity.
Hence D is also incorrect.

Explanation
Option A: 'Used to live' is a past habit or a state or situation that is no longer true. It relates to the given sentence: 'We' used to live in Nottingham first, then 'we' shifted to Manchester a few years ago.
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: 'Has to live' refers to an obligation. Moreover, 'has' is a single verb whereas 'we' is plural. The subject 'we' and verb 'has' must agree with one another in number.
Option C: 'Had to live' also refers to an obligation or compulsion in the past. It does not form a complete meaningful sentence.
Option D: 'Have to live' refers to a compulsion in the present tense. But the action has already happened in the past, before "we came to live in Manchester a few years ago".

would... could... can't

shall... will... can't
Explanation
Option C: 'Would' expresses condition. It presents the hypothetical situation 'I would if I could'.
'Could' is the past tense of 'can'. Both refer to possibility.
The sentence contains three clauses:
'I would',
'if I could',
'but I can't'
The first is the probable result, based on the condition 'if I could'.
The sentence means: I would if I was able to help, but at present I do not possess the ability to help you.
The meaning is complete and hence option C is correct.
Option A: 'I will if I can' does not present any condition. 'Will' presents a future, real action and does not express condition.
Option B: 'May' expresses 'permission' and 'can' expresses 'possibility'. 'But I couldn't' is in past tense, stating an action that has already happened. The meaning hence formed is ambiguous.
Option D: 'Shall' refers to a future action. 'Will' also refers to a future action. None of these words express the condition, put forth by the word 'if'.
Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
