Option D is correct as yesterday indicates the use of had to.

 The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here.

The correct answer is D) had to.

• Option A is the correct answer because 'can' is used to express the ability to do something or an opportunity, it can also be used to request or offer permission, and to show possibility or impossibility. 
  

• Option A is the correct answer because 'cannot' is used for withholding permission for an activity.
  

We use modal verbs to show if we believe something is certain, probable or possible (or not). We also use modals to do things like talking about ability, asking permission making requests and offers, and so on.

In the given sentence, option A is correct as it signifies necessity, compulsion and certainty. It fits in the context of a rule book given to new recruits.

Option B and D are incorrect as they show that something is possible in the future, but not certain.

Option C is incorrect because we use the modal 'can' to make general statements about what is possible.

• Option A is the correct answer because 'cannot' is used when one is not able to do something(also in the sense of "is not able to because it is prohibited"). In this case, they are prohibited from leaving the barracks for a month, which means they are not able to leave the barracks because they are prohibited.

• Usually, we mistake 'must not' to be the correct answer, but there is a difference, when they say "you cannot leave the barracks" it means the law does not allow you to,

Modals are used to show that we believe something is certain, probable or possible.

Option A - Correct,as may is used to show that something is possible in the future, but not certain. It fits in the context of the sentence that the recruits are being told that they may or may not grow their hair.

Option B - Incorrect, as it shows ability.

Option C - Incorrect, as it suggestive in nature.

Option D - Incorrect, as it shows compulsion.

When we read the entire sentence, we can understand that the sentence means that a recruit may grow his hair longer but never more than the collar. Hence, words denoting compulsion are not required here.

Modals are used to show that we believe something is certain, probable or possible.

From the given options, option A is correct as it signifies certainty. The recruits are instructed to keep their uniform clean and tidy. After reading the sentence, we can make out that we need to use a modal that implies certainty. 

Option B, C and D  are incorrect as :

'Could' and 'Might' imply something is possible in the future, but not certain,

and 'Would' implies condition.

• Option D 'will' is the right answer because will is used to talk about the future, to talk about something we believe will happen in the future. 
  

• Option B is the correct answer because 'dare' can mean 'challenge somebody’. With this meaning, it is a main verb and requires an object.
