Test: Modals - 1 - Class 6 MCQ

Used to - This is the correct answer. "Used to" is used to describe past habits or actions that occurred repeatedly in the past but no longer happen in the present.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: "Jyoti used to suck her thumb when she was a kid."

The sentence is asking about the ability to lift the table. The modal verb "Can" is used to denote ability or capability.
Therefore, the correct modal verb to fill in the blank is "Can".

The sentence is a conditional wish. In English, when expressing a strong wish or regret, we often use “if only + subject + would + verb”.
Example: If only it would stop raining.

So, the correct sentence is:
If only terrorists would stop their activities.

The correct answer is "can".
Can: This modal verb is used to talk about ability or possibility in the present. It is the correct choice for the given sentence as we are talking about the present ability to read English smoothly.

The verb expected is in the past, so the correct modal to use is would (future in the past).
Arun expected that he would get an olympiad medal.
“Would” fits naturally when expressing what someone thought or believed would happen.

The correct modal to fill in the blank is "must".
Obligation: When expressing obligation, the modal verb "must" is used.
Correct answer: The correct modal verb to use in this context is "must" as it expresses the obligation to obey the laws of the land. 

- The sentence requires a modal verb that expresses a sense of duty or obligation.
- "Ought" is the correct choice because it implies a moral duty or correctness in the action of respecting seniors.
- Therefore, "We ought to respect our seniors" correctly conveys the moral responsibility.

The correct modal to fill in the blank is "dare".
The modal "dare" is used to express a challenge or defiance, which fits in this context. It conveys the meaning that the person is not brave enough to speak against the speaker.
Therefore, the correct answer is "dare".

Would - This modal verb is used to make polite requests. It is the most appropriate option in this case, as we are asking someone if they would like to join.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: Would.

Here are explanations for the options in that context:

• "might" (modal) is followed by the base verb without "to," so "might to take" is incorrect.
• "could" (modal) is the same; "could to take" is incorrect.
• "must" (modal) also does not take "to"; "must to take" is incorrect.
• "need" can function either as a modal (without "to") or as a regular verb (with "to"). When used as a regular verb, it is followed by "to" + infinitive: "I need to take a holiday."

So, if the sentence explicitly includes "to" after the blank, only "need" is grammatically correct:
"I need to take a holiday tomorrow."
Thus, the presence of "to" after the blank indicates the correct answer is "need" (d).
