Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable verb:
If you've got a ticket, you __________ queue. You can go straight in.

A
ought to

B
don't have to

C
have to

D
should
Solution
Answer : B

Let's take a look at the usage of the modal verbs in the options:
ought to : 'ought to' is a synonym for 'should'; it is more formal than 'should' and is less commonly used, particularly in the question form
don't have to : It is the negative form of 'have to; used to express elimination of a obligation
have to : It is used to express an external obligation in positive sentences and removing an external obligation (or necessity) in the negative sentences
should : It is used for expressing an opinion / advice / expectation / criticism about some past action or it can be used to ask for an advice

Here in the question, we see that the speaker is expressing that they can go straight in, which implies that they don't have to wait in the queue. So basically, the speaker here is eliminating the obligation to wait.
As the speaker is not expressing a necessity -- 'ought to' & 'should' are not suitable here.
As it is not an obligation -- 'have to' is not suitable here.

Therefore from among the options, 'should' is the most suitable verb to complete the sentence.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
If you've got a ticket, you don't have to wait. You can go straight in.

Solution
Answer : D

Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that are used to express necessity or possibility.

Let's take a look at the usage of the modal verbs in the options:

don't have to : It is the negative form of 'have to'; it is used to remove necessity or external obligation
should : It is used for expressing an opinion / advice / expectation / criticism about some past action or it can be used to ask for an advice

Here in the question, we see that the speaker is talking about the new restaurant, and expressing an suggestion to go visit.
As the suggestion that is being expressed a positive one -- 'shouldn't', 'ought' are not suitable because they are used with negative sentences.
'don't have to' is not suitable either because it is used to eliminate any necessity or obligation & is used with negative sentences.

Therefore from among the options, 'should' is the most suitable verb to complete the sentence.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
There's a wonderful new restaurant opened in town. You SHOULD go there.

1 / -0

It's my mother's birthday tomorrow. I ________ buy her a present.

A
must

B

C
shouldn't

D
don't have to
Solution
Answer : A
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that are used to express necessity or possibility.

Let's take a look at the usage of the modal verbs in the options:
must : to express a necessity (in the present or future); to make an assumption that something is true
used to : It is used to refer to some activity that took place in the past in a habitual way
shouldn't : It is the contracted form of 'should not'; it is the negative form of the modal verb 'should'
don't have to : It is the negative form of 'have to'; it is used to remove necessity or external obligation

Here in the question, we see that the speaker is expressing a necessity felt by him / her, that is to my a present for her mother as it is her birthday.
'used to' is not a modal verb, moreover the sentence is not in past tense, which makes its 'used to' unsuitable here.
'shouldn't' is not suitable because the speaker is expressing a necessity felt by him / here and not an advice; moreover the sentence is in positive form, & 'shouldn't' is used with negative sentence.
'don't have to' eliminates the necessity instead of expressing it.

Therefore from among the options, 'must' is the most suitable verb to complete the sentence.

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
It's my mother's birthday tomorrow. I MUST buy her a present.
