Solution

Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.
The sentence requires modal verb which expresses possibility and politeness in asking permission.
Therefore Option D is the correct answers as it expresses possibility.
whereas option B expresses certainty in future actions;
option C expresses the same as option B but in the past form; option A expresses the same as option B. Therefore option A, C and B don't show politeness in the way of asking permission
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable modal denoting a past possibility:
We came to live in Manchester a few years ago. We ____________ in Nottingham.

A
used to live

B
has to live

C
had to live

D
have to live

Solution

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".
Hence options B, C and D are wrong.

A
shouldn't

B
can't

C
won't

mustn't

Solution

The correct answer is Option C.
WON'T is the extraction of WILL NOT.
It indicates the future tense.
In the given sentence, it indicates that the speaker will not tell anybody in the future.
Thus WON'T is the correct answer.
The remaining answers are incorrect because:
SHOULDN'T expresses absence of obligation.
CAN'T expresses inability.
MUSTN'T expresses absence of compulsion.

B
may

should

D
could

Solution

The correct answer is Option C.
SHOULD is used to ask for suggestions or advice.
In the given sentence, the speaker is asking for an advice regarding his job application.
Thus SHOULD is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
CAN expresses ability.
MAY expresses possibility.
COULD is the past tense of CAN.

A
may

B
might

C
can

D
could

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
MIGHT is the past tense of MAY which expresses possibility. In the given sentence, the fire was possibly cause by an electrical fault. The given sentence is in the past tense.
