Option D 'will' is correct form of modal used here as, will expresses the future tense. And the sentence represents the provision of dollars to be done in future.
Option C 'must' imposes compulsion which is not correct, as the given context is of a (promise), must can not be used as a modal.
Option B 'would' represents past tense.
Option A 'should' expresses a suggestion, and does not fit in the context of a promise.

must

Report Question
0%
must
0%
should
0%
might
0%
can
Explanation
Option C is the correct answer because 'might' is used to refer to a weak possibility. In this case, there is a possibility that the bag probably belongs to Manjit's friend.
Option A and B are incorrect because 'must' is used to express assurance, but in this case nobody knows who the bag belongs to so it is just a guess.

Report Question

can
0%
must
0%
should
0%
might
Explanation
Option A is the correct answer because 'can' is used
to express ability or opportunity, to request or offer permission, and to show possibility or impossibility.
In this case, it is used to state that if and only if (ability) the passport can be arranged(possibility) will they get free tickets.
Option B and C are incorrect because they are used to express importance and necessity but in this case the availability of free tickets depends on the condition of passports, but as it is conditional, they are incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because might is used as the past tense of may, but this statement refers to the future.
They ___(9)____ get into unnecessary trouble this way.
Report Question
0%
mayn't
0%
might have
0%
can
0%
needn't
Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because we use 'need'
mostly in the negative form to indicate that there is no obligation or necessity to do something, here 'need not' is used to say that there is no need to fall in trouble if you take precautions. 'Needn't' is the contracted form of 'need not.'
Option A is incorrect because may not expresses a probability of not falling in trouble, which means, falling in trouble is possible too.
Option B is incorrect because 'might' is used in the past tense.
Option C is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability but this statement refers to not getting in trouble.

is express possibility: things that could have been true or things that could yet come true.
Option C is incorrect because 'must' is used to express a definite event, which is not true here because the presence of a bomb is not confirmed.
Option A is incorrect because 'would' is used in the past tense.

0%
must
0%
could
0%
will
Explanation
Option C is the correct answer because 'could'
is used to express ability or possibility: things that could have been true or things that could yet come true, in this case if there is a bomb, it could explode any moment as it has the ability to explode.
Option A and B are incorrect because 'should' and 'must' are used whenever there is assurance of happening of an event.
Option D is incorrect because it is not necessary that the bomb 'will' explode, because we are not sure if there is a bomb in the first place.
Ranjit: _____ you please tell me whose bag is that?
Report Question
0%
must
0%
will
0%
would
0%
could
Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because 'could' is used to make polite requests.
'would ' is also used to make polite requests but the difference between the two is-
could = possibility + ability
would = definiteness
+
desire
The above two equations make it clear that 'could' should be used over 'would' because a request is being made, and getting an answer is not necessary.
Option A is incorrect because 'must' is used when something needs to be done inevitably.
Option B is incorrect because 'will' is used in the future tense.

0%
should
0%
will
Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'can' is
used to express ability or opportunity, to request or offer permission, and to show possibility or impossibility. In this case, permission is being offered but conditionally.
Option A is incorrect because 'could' is used in the past tense.
Option C is incorrect because 'should' is usually used to give suggestions or advice.
Option D is incorrect because 'will' is used to express certainty which is not true in this case because there is a condition of finishing homework.
After that you ___2___ grow it longer
Report Question
0%
can
0%
will
0%
should
0%
may
Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because 'may' is used
to ask for, give and refuse permission. It is quite formal.In this case, they are given permission to grow their hair longer later on if they like to.
Option A is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability, which does not make sense in this context because growing of hair is not under one's control.
Option B is incorrect because 'will' is used when there is a certainty of an event occurring in the future whereas the growing of hair is a personal choice and not a necessary event.
Option C is incorrect because 'should'is used
to tell somebody what they ought to do, to give advice, or to add emphasis which is not true in this case as it is their own choice.
Fill in the blank with a suitable verb.
Everybody ____ here for you.
Report Question
0%
are
0%
is
0%
has
0%
have
Explanation
Subject-verb agreement is basically an agreement between the subject and the verb, in a sentence. "The subject must agree with the verb in number (singular or plural)." If the subject is singular, then the verb must be singular, for example: The dog is barking. (dog is singular, 'is' is a singular verb)
When the subject is plural, the verb also must be plural, for example: The dogs are barking. (dogs are plural, 'are' is a plural verb)
The subject in the given sentence is "everybody", (the subject is that thing or person that performs the action of the verb). 'Everybody' is a pronoun that refers to every body, or every person. It is singular, hence the verb that follows will also be singular.
From the options, 'is' is a singular verb whereas 'are' is a plural verb. (Consider the given examples.) The singular verb 'is' agrees with the singular subject 'everybody'. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
When 'has' is used as the main verb, it means 'to possess or own something'. When placed in the given sentence, it does not express a complete thought: Hence option C is incorrect.
'Have' is the plural form of 'has'; neither does it agree with the subject, nor is it relevant in meaning here (the same as 'has'). Hence option D is incorrect.
Fill in the blank with appropriate modal.
_______ you rather have tea or coffee?
Report Question
0%
could
0%
can
0%
would
0%
must
Explanation
Option C is the correct answer because 'w
ould'
expresses ideas such as willingness or determination, would is also used to ask polite questions. In this case, a question about what they are willing to have is being asked, so it is right to use 'would'.
Option A and B are incorrect because 'can' and 'could' express the ability to do something.
Option D is incorrect because 'must' is used to state certainty or a necessary event which is not valid in this case.
Fill in the blank with a suitable verb:
Jill as well as Jack ______ up the hill. [Intermediate]
Report Question
0%
are
0%
is
0%
has
0%
none
Explanation
'As well as' does not compound the subjects and so the verb has to be in agreement with the first subject i.e 'Jill'. So, the answer will be the singular verb 'is'.
Fill in the blank with an appropriate option.
_____ you please stop talking?
Report Question
0%
Will
0%
Must
0%
Should
0%
Could
Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because could
is a conditional verb that expresses possibility, and it makes a statement of ability, could is also used to make polite requests as in this case.
Option A is incorrect because although we can use 'will', it denotes certainty of an event, which means the person is telling him to stop talking, which doesn't denote a request being made, so it is wrong.
Option B and C are incorrect because they imply as a fact that a certain task needs to be done, which is not true here, because it is a question, in fact a request.
Dharamjit: We _____ , at the earliest.
Report Question
0%
should
0%
could
0%
will
0%
can
Explanation
Option A is the correct answer because
we use 'should'
most commonly to talk about what is the ideal or best thing to do in a situation or give a piece of advice, in this case, the ideal thing to do is to inform the police as soon as possible if they suspect a bomb.
Option B is incorrect because using 'could' means that informing the police is an option and may not be necessary which is not true in this case.
Option C is incorrect because 'will' is used to assure that it will be done, but it doesn't come with a stipulated time limit for the event to occur.
Option D is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability, which is obviously not right because it is a suggestion being made.
Fill in the blank with a suitable verb:
Either Heather or Jack _______ that bus daily.
Report Question
0%
take
0%
takes
0%
taken
0%
taking
Explanation
When two subjects are connected by 'either..or', the verb has to be in agreement with the subject closest to it. So, the verb number will concord with 'Jack' (which is singular) and the answer will be the singular verb 'takes'.
Fill the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes a conclusion:
You ____ be mad to do this.
Report Question
0%
can
0%
must
0%
should
0%
could
Explanation
The option B is correct. Must is used to denote conclusion to be the most logical or rational interpretation
of the situation. While can, could be is used in terms expressing ability/lack of ability. Should is used to denote polite suggestion or advice.
Thus the sentence would become:
You must be mad to do this.
Complete the sentence with an appropriate modal:
I _____ try again if you wish.
Report Question
0%
would
0%
will
0%
must
0%
can
Explanation
Option A is the correct option because we often use 'would'
in the main clause
of a conditional sentence when we talk about imagined situations, as in this case, the person says he doesn't mind trying again if that is what is being wished for.
Option B and C are incorrect because 'will' and 'must' are used when there is a certainty, but in this case, trying again depends on a condition.
Option D is incorrect because 'can' is used to express the ability to do something, but here it depends on the other person.
Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes certainty:
You _____ come and have dinner with me.
Report Question
0%
must
0%
dare
0%
need
0%
ought
Explanation
Option A is the correct answer because 'must'
expresses compulsion or strong obligation. It is much stronger than 'should', it
can also express probability or likelihood, as in this case.
Option C and D are wrong because 'need' and 'ought' are used to express
duty, necessity, or moral obligation
which is not correct here. They are followed by 'to'.
Option B is incorrect because 'dare' means
to
ask
someone to do something that involves risk, which is not correct here.
Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes a threat.
He has lost your book and he ____ not tell you.
Report Question
0%
must
0%
need
0%
dare
0%
should
Explanation
Option C is the correct answer because 'dare' means
to be brave enough to do something difficult or dangerous , or to be rude or silly enough to do something that you have no right to do. In this case, confessing about the lost book is a daring task to be done, and so the speaker says he will not be able to dare to.
Option A, B and D are incorrect because 'must', 'should' and 'need' are used to make a suggestion(should) or when something is required to be done (must and need) , which is not correct here because that means it is not needed to confess.
In the first month you ___8___ leave the barracks but thereafter you.
Report Question
0%
mustn't
0%
won't
0%
cannot
0%
shouldn't
Explanation
Option C is the correct answer because 'cannot' means
can not; to be unable to, or not allowed to, which is correct here because it is a strict rule to not leave the barracks, and hence no permission for leaving.
Option A and B are incorrect as both mustn't and won't are used for an obligatory event but they do not prohibit the ability to leave which is an essential of this rule.
Option D is incorrect because should is express to give advice which signifies nothing serious which is not true in this case.
You ___11___ also have a check-up at least once a year during service.
Report Question
0%
should
0%
would
0%
could
0%
need
Explanation
Option A is correct because 'should' is used
to make offers and suggestions, and to ask for advice, here in the above statement a piece of advice is being made to have a check-up at least once a year.
Option B and C are incorrect because could and would are used in the form of past tense.
Option D is incorrect because 'need' is used when it is a necessity and not
a piece of
advice or suggestion, which is not true in this case.
need is always followed by 'to'.
Fill in the blank with a suitable modal.
He _____ pay you the loan he owes to you?
Report Question
0%

0%
dare
Explanation
The given sentence questions the ability of the subject to do the work, in this case, paying the loans. It does not assert the necessity,nor compulsion, neither even challenging the subject to pay up. Therefore, option C, can't, explaining the inability of the subject, is the correct answer, and options A,B and D are incorrect.

Report Question

0%
should
0%
can
Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because 'can' is used to express ability to do something, or in the sense of 'may' to give permission. Here it is used to give permission to go out on weekends if they want to.
Option A and B are incorrect because 'must' and 'will' are used to express compulsion or strong obligation whereas going out is a choice and is not compulsory.
Option C is incorrect because 'should' is used as the past tense of shall , which is used to give advice, whereas the above statement is not an advice, it is just granting of permission.
Fill in the blank with a modal denoting past possibility.
I _____ smoke but I gave it up last year.
Report Question
0%
must
0%
need to
0%
ought to
0%
used to
Explanation
Option D is the right answer because the statement is made in the past tense, and used to is the only correct option.
'Used to' is used
when we refer to things in the past which are no longer true, as in this case, smoking.
Option A,B and C are incorrect because 'must', 'ought to' and 'need to' are used when something is required to be done no matter what, which does not make sense here because the statement is in past tense.

Report Question
0%

could
0%
can
0%
will
Explanation
Option is C the right answer because 'c
an'
expresses ability and is also
used in the sense of '
may'
to give permission.
Option A and D are incorrect because both 'must' and 'will' are used for a sure event, or some necessary task as a statement which is not the case here.
Option B is incorrect because 'could' is the past tense of can.
You ___6___ smoke in any of the working rooms,
Report Question
0%
shouldn't
0%
cannot
0%
won't
0%
needn't
Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'cannot' basically means
can not; to be unable to, or not allowed to. In this case, smoking is prohibited hence cannot is used.
Option A is incorrect because 'should' is a past tense of shall that is used
to make offers and suggestions, and to ask for advice, but smoking here is a strict prohibition.
Option C is incorrect because it means 'will not' which is incorrect because will is used to talk about an event that is certain to happen.
Option D is incorrect because we use 'needn't '
to give permission to someone not to do something in the immediate future.It might seem the right answer at first sight but since smoking is prohibited, and is out of bounds, it is basically considered an inability here.
Your uniform ___4___ be kept clean and tidy.
Report Question
0%
can
0%
could
0%
must
0%
will
Explanation
Option C is the correct answer because 'must
'
expresses compulsion or strong obligation,and necessity, which is true in this context as keeping the uniform clean and tidy is necessary.
Option A is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability or probability of doing something, whereas keeping the uniform clean is a necessity and not a probability.
Option B is incorrect because 'could' is used in the past tense.
Option D is incorrect because 'will' is used
to talk about the future – to say what we believe will happen, or
to talk about what people want to do or are willing to do or
to make promises and offers , which is not correct in this case.
Complete the following sentence by choosing the most appropriate option.

Report Question
0%
may
0%
shall
0%
can
0%
might
Explanation
Option C 'can' represents the ability to do something. In the given sentence the ability talked about is of learning new words. Therefore can is the correct answer.
Option D and A are incorrect as may and might are used to express probabilities.
Option B 'shall' is
used when talking about the future, usually when making predictions or making decisions.
In the sentence given the context represents the focus on the ability to learn new words with the help of a dictionary.
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes necessity:
You _____ not hurry, there is plenty of time.
Report Question
0%
may
0%
need
0%
dare
0%
should
Explanation
In the given sentence, we need a modal verb.
Verbs like 'need, dare, ought and used' when functioning as modals, are called semi-modals, because they can be used as a main verb as well as a modal verb. Usually, as semi-modals, they are written as infinitives, with the preposition 'to':
'ought to, dare to, need to, used to'
Option B: The verb 'need' also has two uses.
As a verb, it means 'want', 'require'. As a modal verb, it means 'be obliged', 'be necessary'.
As a modal, 'need' is commonly used in negatives and interrogatives. Negative and interrogative sentences are followed by the infinitives without 'to', in the form 'need not'.
So, in this sentence, 'need' does not required 'to'.
Also, 'need' means 'necessity'. In this sentence it means 'It is not necessary for you to hurry'. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'May' means permission, but it does not agree to the rest of the sentence 'there is plenty of time'. So, 'permission' isn't the preferred mood here.
Option C: 'Dare' refers to a warning or threat; the meaning isn't most suitable here.
Option D: 'Should' means an advice; this word too isn't very relevant here.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Fill in the blank with the appropriate modal.

Report Question
0%
should
0%
must
0%
would
0%
can
Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'must'
expresses compulsion or strong obligation. It is much stronger than 'should' and hence Option A is incorrect. 'must' is used to express necessity or strong determination, which is correct in this case as leaving on time is necessary for the speaker to catch the train.
Option C is incorrect because 'would' is used in the past tense whereas the statement is ,made in the present tense.
Option D is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability to do something, here leaving on time is not a question of capability.
Fill in the blank with the correct verb to complete the sentence:
Each of the guilty persons ______ punished. [Advanced]
Report Question
0%
were
0%
have
0%
has
0%
was
Explanation
Option D is the correct answer. With the use of the word each, we can determine the singular nature of the subject. Thus, the following verb will also be in the singular form. The object of the sentence, punished, is in the past tense. Option D, was, is the only one which both these criteria. Options A and B are both in plural form, whereas Option C, despite being in he singular form, is in the present tense. Thus, Options A,B and C are all incorrect.

Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because 'can' is used to express ability or capability to do something, in this case, the speaker is capable of trying again.
Option A and C are incorrect because they are both in the past tense while the statement is in the present tense.
Option B is incorrect because 'shall' is used to give advice or a suggestion, or a polite way of asking permission too, which is incorrect here.
Fill in the blank with a suitable modal verb:
You ____ be mad to do this.
Report Question
0%
shall
0%
must
0%
can
0%
could
Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'must' is used to express compulsion, strong obligation, strong determination, probability or likelihood. it is stronger than should, in this case, the speaker thinks that he is probably mad so must is correct.
Option A is incorrect because 'shall' is used to give advice or make suggestions which is not correct here because the speaker is calling him mad.
Option C and D are incorrect because 'can' and 'could' are used to express ability or capability to do something.
Fill in the blank with the correct verb to complete the sentence:
Gold as well as silver ______ fallen in price. [Basic]
Report Question
0%
have
0%
has
0%
is
0%
are
Explanation
When two subjects are connected by 'as well as,' the verb is in accordance with the first subject which in this case is 'gold.' So, the verb will be 'has' as gold is an uncountable noun and takes a singular verb. Option B) 'has' is the correct option here since it agrees with our subject in the sentence 'gold'. 'As well as silver' is a phrase which is not a part of the subject. So, we can eliminate option A) 'have' and option D) 'are' as they're plural in nature and do not agree with our singular subject. Option C) 'is' is incorrect because it does not fit grammatically with the given sentence as the next word is 'fallen' which is in the past participle form and we need an auxiliary to go with that. In this case, 'has' fits grammatically with 'fallen' and also agrees with our singular subject.
Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence.
People ______ think that the earth was flat.
Report Question
0%
might
0%
used to
0%
could
0%

Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'used to' is used
when we refer to things in the past which are no longer true. It can refer to repeated actions or to a state or situation, as in this case, people thought that the earth was flat before but they don't think so anymore.
Option A and D are incorrect because might and will are used in the future tense.
Option C is incorrect because 'could' is the past tense of can which means people were probably capable of thinking that the earth was flat which is incorrect.
Fill in the blank with an appropriate option.

Report Question
0%
may
0%
can
0%
could
0%
would
Explanation
The correct answer is 'can' as this statement talks about the ability of the doer to do something once they have fulfilled a condition. 'may' would have been the answer if the statement had been 'You may go when you have finished your work'; but the addition of 'only' gives the ability to the doer and not the speaker.

Report Question
0%
will

would
0%
might
0%
could
Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'would'
is the
past
tense form of 'will', so
it is used
to talk about the past, or
to talk about hypothetical situations – things that are imagined rather than true and also
for politeness.
In this case, as it is in the past tense, and it is not sure whether he would come, it is correct to use would.
Option A is incorrect because 'will' is used in the present tense while the statement is in past tense.
Option C is incorrect because 'might' is used to express permission usually, or also to express probability.
Option D is incorrect because 'could' is used to express capability.

Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'cannot' means can not, unable to do something, or incapable of which is correct here, because fitting everything into one bag is not possible.
Option C is incorrect because there is no rule as such, or compulsion of the only bag, it is about the possibility here, and not compulsion.
Option A and D are incorrect because 'might not ' and 'should not' are in the past tense.

Explanation
Option C is the correct answer because w

o ask for, give and refuse permission. It is quite formal.
Option B is incorrect because it is the past tense of 'might'.
Option A is incorrect because shall is used to give a piece of advice or make a suggestion, which is incorrect because in the statement above permission is being granted.
Option D is incorrect because 'have to' is used when something is compulsory, like 'must' but in this case, the time to go home depends on the person's wish and is not a compulsion.

Option D 'is' is used in simple present form, hence incorrect.
Option B 'being' is used in present continuous form, hence incorrect.
Option A 'be' along with verb will/shall is used to indicate future tense, hence incorrect.

Explanation
Option D is the correct answer because 'would' is the past tense of will which is used to express
immediate intentions and decisions, and
to express someone’s willingness to do something or to make offers, or to make requests and invitations.
In this case, the speaker states that he is expecting a proper answer, which is a request and his intention.
Option B and C are incorrect because 'may' and 'shall' are used to suggest or take permission which is not correct in this case.

Option A is the correct answer because 'will' is used
to refer to things in the future that we think are certain, also for
immediate intentions and decisions, or

Explanation
Modal verbs show us the mood, that is, a way to express the attitude of the speaker to what is being said
Option C is the correct answer because the modal verb "
Would" suggests an expression of offering an invitation which is appropriate to fulfill the meaning of the given sentence.. Whereas, the modal verbs in option A, B and D do not provide the mood of offering an invitation.

Explanation
Option B is the correct answer because 'should' is the past tense of shall which is used to make suggestions or make predictions , here should is correct and not shall, because we use 'should' for advice and suggestions and not shall, hence Option A is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect because it is in the past tense.
Option D is incorrect because buying sweets is not a necessity or a need, it is just a suggestion in fact.
Fill in the blank with appropriate modal.

Explanation
Ruling out option B because 'could' is used to express the ability to do something, which is not correct here because the speaker chooses to not give an explanation.
Ruling out Option C and D as 'may' and 'shall' are used to make polite requests or to express the probability of occurring an event.
Hence Option A is the right answer as 'would' is the past tense of will and is used
to talk about the past or
to talk about hypothetical situations– things that are imagined rather than true and also
for politeness.

Explanation
A modal is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to express : ability, possibility or obligation.
The given sentence needs to fulfill the structure in order to support the modal verb to make general statements about what is possible, i.e. modal verb (can) + be + past participle (made)
Option A is correct because "be" is the only word which can help the modal verb "can" express its ability in the given sentence. Whereas, option B, C and D do not support the modal verb.
