Explanation:
The correct option to fill in the blank is "could". Here's why:
Could is used to express the possibility or ability of something happening in the past. Since we are talking about primitive men, which is in the past, it is appropriate to use "could" in this sentence.
Let's break down the sentence:
- Primitive men: This refers to men who lived in ancient times.
- Plough the fields: This means to till the land for agriculture.
Now, let's see why the other options are not correct:
- Used to: This means that something happened repeatedly in the past. However, we don't know if primitive men ploughed the fields repeatedly, so this option is not appropriate.
- Would: This is used to describe a habitual action in the past. Again, we don't know if primitive men ploughed the fields habitually, so this option is not appropriate.
- Shall: This is used to talk about future events. Since we are talking about the past, this option is not appropriate.
Therefore, the correct option is "could".

Clifford Academy answered |
The correct answer is "How can you say such a thing?" and "How dare you say such a thing?" Both sentences are grammatically correct and contextually possible.
1. "How can you say such a thing?" - This is used when the speaker is surprised or shocked at what the other person has said.
2. "How dare you say such a thing?" - This is used when the speaker is angry or offended by what the other person has said.
"Must" does not fit in this sentence contextually because it implies obligation or necessity, which does not make sense in this sentence.

Reya Thakur answered |
The word "dare" implies a challenge or daring someone to do something risky or potentially dangerous, such as going into a house at night. "Will" and "should" are not appropriate in this context as they do not convey the same sense of daring or challenge. Option 4 is incorrect because "dare" is the correct answer.

Modal verbs are used to express likelihood, ability, permission, obligation, or advice. They are used to modify the meaning of the main verb in a sentence.

- "May" is a modal verb that expresses possibility or likelihood.
- In this sentence, the speaker is expressing the possibility of winning the lottery.

- The sentence could be rewritten as "I might win the lottery" or "There is a chance I will win the lottery."

Akansha shah answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A' - used to.
Used to:
The phrase "used to" is used to talk about past habits or states that are no longer true. It indicates that something was done regularly or repeatedly in the past but is not done anymore. It is used to contrast the past with the present. In this case, the person used to go for a walk daily, but now they rarely go.
Example:
- I used to play soccer every weekend, but now I don't have time for it.
Other options:
- Option 'B' - will: This option is incorrect because "will" is used to express future actions or intentions, not past habits.
- Option 'C' - can: This option is incorrect because "can" is used to express ability or possibility, not past habits.
- Option 'D' - none of these: This option is incorrect because "used to" is the correct phrase to use in this context.

Avinash Patel answered |
To solve this question, we need to determine the correct verb that fills in the blank to complete the sentence "We _____ to serve our nation." Let's analyze each option:
A: "ought"
- "ought" expresses moral obligation or duty.
- It is often used to suggest that something is the right thing to do.
- In this context, using "ought" implies that serving the nation is a moral duty or obligation.
B: "must"
- "must" indicates necessity or obligation.
- It is used to express a strong recommendation or requirement.
- Choosing "must" suggests that serving the nation is a necessary obligation.
C: "can"
- "can" expresses ability or possibility.
- It implies that the subject has the capability to perform the action.
- Using "can" in this sentence would imply that the subject has the ability to serve the nation.
D: "none of these"
- This option suggests that none of the given choices are suitable to complete the sentence.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is option A: "ought." Using "ought" in the sentence conveys the idea that serving the nation is a moral duty or obligation.

Anjali choudhary answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence is instructing someone to complete their work before leaving. In such cases, we use modal auxiliaries like 'must', 'shall', 'should', or 'ought to' to convey the sense of obligation or necessity.
Option A: must
'Must' is used to express a strong obligation. It implies that there is no choice and the action is necessary. Therefore, it is the correct option in the given sentence.
Option B: shall
'Shall' is used to indicate a future action and is often used in formal language. It is not suitable in the given sentence as it does not convey the sense of obligation.
Option C: should
'Should' is used to express a recommendation or advice. While it is important to complete the work before leaving, 'should' is not strong enough to convey the sense of obligation required in the sentence.
Option D: ought to
'Ought to' is similar to 'should' and is used to express a duty or moral obligation. However, it is not as strong as 'must' and therefore, not the appropriate option in the given sentence.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is 'must' as it conveys the sense of obligation and necessity required in the sentence.

Explanation:
Out of the given options, option 'B' - 'must' is the correct answer. Let's understand the meanings of the given options and why they are incorrect -
A) Dare: Dare means to have the courage to do something. This option is incorrect as it doesn't fit the context of the sentence. The sentence is warning the person not to swim in the river because the current is fast, it is not asking the person to show courage.
B) Must: Must is used to indicate a necessity or obligation. This option is correct as the sentence is warning the person that it is necessary for their safety to not swim in the river.
C) Need: Need is used to indicate a requirement. This option is incorrect as it doesn't fit the context of the sentence. The sentence is not talking about any requirement, it is warning the person about the danger of swimming in the river.
Therefore, option 'B' - 'must' is the correct answer.

Kamna Science Academy answered |
In terms of modals, the correct option is "might."
So, the complete sentence would be: "The sage wished that I might live long."
Here’s how the other options relate to modals:
- may: Indicates permission or possibility but is less appropriate in expressing a wish.
- should: Implies obligation or recommendation, which does not fit the context of wishing.
- none of these: Not applicable, as "might" is the correct choice.
Thus, the appropriate modal to express the sage's wish is "might."

Modal auxiliary verbs are used to express a variety of meanings such as ability, possibility, permission, obligation, etc. The correct modal auxiliary verb to complete the given sentence is 'shall'. Let's discuss why it is the correct option.
Explanation:
- 'Would' is used to express a conditional action or a past habit. For example, "If I had the money, I would buy a new car." or "When I was younger, I would walk to school every day." Therefore, 'would' is not the correct option to complete the given sentence.
- 'Should' is used to express a recommendation or an expectation. For example, "You should study harder if you want to pass the exam." or "He should be here by now." Therefore, 'should' is not the correct option to complete the given sentence.
- 'Shall' is used to express a future action or a suggestion. For example, "I shall meet you at the airport tomorrow." or "Shall we go for a walk?" In the given sentence, we are talking about a future action (having money tomorrow), so 'shall' is the correct option to use.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be "You shall have the money tomorrow."

Explanation:
The sentence is talking about a person who needs to change their ways. The correct word to fill in the blank is "ought." Here's why:
1. Use of "should": "Should" is a modal verb that expresses recommendation or obligation. It is used to give advice or to say what is the right thing to do. However, in this sentence, the speaker is not giving advice or making a suggestion. They are stating that the person needs to change their ways. Therefore, "should" is not the best option.
2. Use of "must": "Must" is a modal verb that expresses strong obligation or necessity. It is used to say that something is required or mandatory. While the sentence does express a sense of obligation, it is not as strong as "must." The speaker is not saying that the person is required to change their ways, but rather that it would be beneficial for them to do so.
3. Use of "ought": "Ought" is a modal verb that expresses moral obligation or duty. It is used to say what is the right thing to do based on a sense of responsibility or expectation. This is the best option for the sentence because the speaker is suggesting that the person has a duty to change their ways in order to improve their situation.
Therefore, the correct answer is "B) ought."

Madhavan Dasgupta answered |
Explanation:
Should
- The modal verb 'should' is used to give advice or make recommendations.
- In this sentence, the use of 'should' indicates that helping the needy is the right thing to do, hence it is recommended or advised.
- It expresses a moral obligation or duty to help those in need.
Correct Answer
- The correct answer to the sentence is option 'C' - should. This is because it conveys the sense of moral duty or responsibility towards helping the needy.
Other options
- 'May' suggests a possibility or permission, which is not suitable in this context as helping the needy is not just a choice but a moral obligation.
- 'Shall' is used to indicate future actions or promises, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
- 'Dare not' is used to express lack of courage or willingness to do something, which is not relevant in this sentence.

Understanding the Correct Answer: "May"
In the sentence "_____ I use your pen?", the correct choice is "may." This selection is rooted in the nuances of permission and formality in the English language.
Explanation of Options
- Must:
- This modal verb indicates necessity or obligation.
- Example: "You must finish your homework."
- In this context, using "must" would imply that the speaker has no choice but to use the pen, which is inappropriate.
- May:
- This modal verb expresses permission or possibility.
- Example: "May I leave the room?"
- In this context, "may" is the most suitable choice as it politely asks for permission to use the pen.
- Would:
- This verb often expresses a hypothetical situation or a polite request.
- Example: "Would you help me with this?"
- While it could be used for a request, it lacks the directness related to asking for permission.
- None of these:
- This option implies that none of the provided choices are correct, which is inaccurate in this case.
Conclusion
Using "may" in the sentence "May I use your pen?" conveys a polite request for permission, making it the appropriate choice. The other options either imply obligation, are hypothetical, or do not fit the context of seeking permission. Thus, "may" is the correct answer.

Radha Iyer answered |
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the meaning and usage of each option in the given sentence.
1. Needn't: This is a contraction of "need not" and is used to indicate that something is not necessary or required. In this context, it suggests that the person is not required to come to the office.
2. Must: This is used to express a strong obligation or necessity. However, in this sentence, it doesn't fit the context as it implies a strong requirement to come to the office.
3. Ought to: This is used to indicate a moral or advisable course of action. While it suggests that the person should come to the office, it is not as strong as "must" in terms of obligation.
4. Shall: This is used to express future action or intention, but it doesn't fit the context of the sentence as it doesn't convey the idea of necessity or requirement.
From the given options, the correct answer is:
- A: needn't (indicating that the person is not required to come to the office)
So the complete answer is:
The correct option is A: needn't

Madhav chatterjee answered |
Life used to be more interesting when I was a child.
Explanation:
When we say "used to", it means that something was done regularly or repeatedly in the past, but it is not done anymore. Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "used to".
As a child, life was more interesting because:
• There were no worries or responsibilities.
• Everything was new and exciting.
• We had more time to play and explore.
• We were more curious and imaginative.
• We had more free time to spend with friends and family.
• We were not afraid to take risks and try new things.
Overall, childhood is a time of innocence and wonder, where everything seems possible and nothing is out of reach. As we grow older, we tend to lose some of that sense of wonder and excitement, but we can always try to recapture it by staying curious, exploring new things, and embracing the unknown.

Explanation:
The given sentence talks about a change in the mode of transportation from walking to riding a scooter. The correct option to fill the blank is "used to" because it indicates a habit or a repeated action in the past that is no longer true in the present.
Used to:
- It is used to talk about past habits or actions that are not true anymore in the present.
- It is always followed by the base form of the verb.
- It is used to make negative and interrogative sentences as well.
Example:
- I used to play football every day. (past habit)
- She used to live in New York. (past habit)
- Did you use to smoke? (question)
- He didn't use to like pizza. (negative)
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I used to go to the college on foot. Now I go on a scooter."

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the sentence structure and the meaning conveyed by each option.
The sentence "You _____ take my bicycle if you need." suggests that the speaker is giving permission to someone to borrow their bicycle. We need to choose the appropriate modal verb to complete the sentence correctly.
Let's analyze each option:
A: will
- The modal verb "will" is used to express a future action or intention. However, in this context, it does not convey the meaning of permission or ability to borrow the bicycle.
- Therefore, "will" is not the correct answer.
B: would
- The modal verb "would" is used to express a hypothetical situation or a polite request. It does not convey the meaning of permission or ability to borrow the bicycle.
- Therefore, "would" is not the correct answer.
C: can
- The modal verb "can" is used to express ability or permission. In this context, it conveys the meaning of permission to borrow the bicycle.
- Therefore, "can" is the correct answer.
D: none of these
- This option is incorrect because "can" is the correct answer.
In conclusion, the correct answer is C: can. The sentence should be "You can take my bicycle if you need."

Milind dubey answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option D, "Would."
In this context, the speaker is asking for a favor or making a polite request for the other person to move a little. The use of "Would" indicates politeness and is often used to make requests in a more indirect manner.
Polite Requests:
When making a polite request, "Would" is commonly used. It softens the request and shows respect for the other person's autonomy. Some examples of polite requests using "Would" include:
- Would you mind closing the window?
- Would you please pass me the salt?
- Would you be able to help me with this?
Other Options:
Let's briefly discuss the other options and why they are not the correct answer.
- Option A: "Can" is used to ask if someone has the ability or permission to do something. While it could be used to make a request, it is not as polite as "Would" in this context.
- Option B: "Should" is used to express obligation or duty. It is not appropriate for making a polite request.
- Option C: "Need" is used to express necessity or requirement. While it could be used to make a request, it is not as polite as "Would" in this context.
Conclusion:
In this specific context, where the speaker is asking someone to move a little, the most appropriate and polite way to make the request is by using "Would." This shows respect for the other person's autonomy and is a common way to make polite requests.

b) "May" - This option indicates a possibility or permission, but it does not convey a strong sense of obligation or determination.
c) "Needn't" - This option implies that it is not necessary to help, which contradicts the notion of helping at all costs.

Subhankar Nair answered |
Explanation:
Option C: Either of the above could be used here
- In this sentence, both "needn’t" and "don’t need to" are correct to convey the same meaning.
- "Needn’t" is a contraction of "need not," indicating that something is not necessary or required.
- "Don’t need to" is a common way to express not having the obligation or necessity to do something.
- Therefore, either of these options could be used interchangeably in the given sentence without changing the meaning.
Conclusion:
Both "needn’t" and "don’t need to" are suitable choices in the sentence "You _____ work on Sundays." This makes option C the correct answer, as either of the above could be used here.
