  • 2. 

    You look tired. You ___ go to bed.

    • Should

    • Ought

    • Are to

    Correct Answer
    A. Should
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "should" because it suggests a strong recommendation or advice to go to bed based on the observation that the person looks tired. "Ought" and "are to" can also express obligation or necessity, but they are not commonly used in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Where's Nick? He ___ be in his office.

    • Might

    • Mustn't

    • Is to

    Correct Answer
    A. Might
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "might" because it suggests a possibility or uncertainty about Nick's location. It implies that there is a chance that he could be in his office, but it is not certain.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Take an umbrella. It ___ rain later.

    • Has to

    • Need

    • Might

    Correct Answer
    A. Might
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "might" because it suggests a possibility of rain later. "Has to" implies a certainty or obligation, which is not stated in the sentence. "Need" implies a necessity, but it is not clear if rain is necessary. "Might" indicates a potential outcome, which aligns with the uncertainty of rain later.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    ___ we stay or leave?

    • Will

    • Would

    • Shall

    Correct Answer
    A. Shall
    Explanation
    The word "shall" is used to express a future action or possibility. In this question, the word "shall" is appropriate because it is asking about a decision or choice to stay or leave in the future.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Jack ___ go to hospital yesterday.

    • Must

    • Had to

    • Need

    Correct Answer
    A. Had to
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had to." In this sentence, the past tense "had to" is used to indicate that Jack was required or compelled to go to the hospital yesterday. The word "must" would imply a present or future obligation, while "need" does not convey the same sense of requirement or compulsion.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    ___ it be true?

    • May

    • Must

    • Can

    Correct Answer
    A. Can
    Explanation
    The word "can" is used to express possibility or ability. In this context, "can" suggests that something is possible or likely to be true. The other options, "may" and "must," do not convey the same sense of possibility. "May" is used to express permission or uncertainty, while "must" indicates a strong likelihood or necessity. Therefore, "can" is the most suitable choice to convey the idea of something being true.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Jane was so tired. She ___ have worked days and nights.

    • Should

    • Must

    • Need

    Correct Answer
    A. Must
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "must". In this sentence, the word "must" is used to express a strong belief or certainty. It implies that Jane had no choice but to work days and nights because she was so tired. The word "should" suggests a recommendation or expectation, while "need" implies a requirement or necessity, but neither of these convey the same level of certainty as "must".

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Liz ___ get tired of her job. It is so boring.

    • Has to

    • Must

    • Should

    Correct Answer
    A. Must
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "must". This is because "must" is used to express a strong obligation or necessity. In the given sentence, it implies that Liz has no choice but to get tired of her job because it is so boring. "Has to" and "should" do not convey the same level of obligation as "must".

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    You ___ do it. I've already done it.

    • Must not

    • Need not

    • Ought not

    Correct Answer
    A. Need not
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "need not." This phrase implies that there is no obligation or requirement to do something because it has already been done.
