6. 'You  ……… be careful if you are in a public place such as a park.'

Explanation

The correct answer is "have to". This is because the sentence suggests that it is necessary or required to be careful in a public place like a park. "Mustn't" would imply that it is prohibited to be careful, which doesn't make sense in this context. "Ought" is not used to express necessity in this way. "Have been" is past tense and does not fit the sentence structure. Therefore, "have to" is the most appropriate choice.

Explanation

The correct answer is "mustn't". This is because the sentence is talking about the restriction of flying a drone within 50 meters of a person who is not the pilot. "Mustn't" indicates prohibition or a strong recommendation not to do something, which aligns with the restriction mentioned in the sentence.

Submit

Explanation
