Test: Verb- 1 - Class 8 MCQ

Option D 'will' is the right answer because will is used to talk about the future, to talk about something we believe will happen in the future. 
The given statement is in future tense so 'will' is the right answer.
Option A and B are incorrect because 'may' and 'might' express a possibility, but as the speaker says he is sure of success, may and might are not used.
Option C 'would' is incorrect because it is the past tense of will, which is not the tense the speaker is talking in.

b'b"\'Somebody\' is an indefinite pronoun which always takes the singular form. Therefore the verb to be used here also has to be in the singular form. 
Option A \'have\' is incorrect as it represents plural form.
Option D \'are\' is incorrect as it also represents plural form.
Option C \'is\' can\'t be used when the sentence is in present perfect. It can be used in present continuous form for eg. Somebody is calling you. or future continuous for eg. Somebody is going to win the lottery ticket.

Option A - 'Must' is used to explain obligation in the present tense. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Can' is used to explain a possibility in the present tense. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Shall' is used to explain possibility in the future tense. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Used to' is used to explain a possibility and a fact in the past tense. Thus option B is the correct answer.
'I used to be a clerk, but now I am an officer.'

In the given sentence, the phrase "I _____ smoke" suggests a past habit or action. To denote a past habit, the appropriate modal verb is "used to."

"Could" is used to indicate ability or possibility in the past, but it doesn't convey the idea of a past habit.
"Must" is used to express obligation or necessity, but it doesn't fit in the context of a past habit.
"Might" is used to indicate possibility or uncertainty, but it doesn't convey the idea of a past habit.

Therefore, the correct answer is C: used to. The sentence should be completed as follows: "I used to smoke but I gave it up last year." This construction indicates that smoking was a habit in the past, but the person stopped doing it last year.

Option B is the correct answer because 'dare' can mean 'challenge somebody’. With this meaning, it is a main verb and requires an object.
Dare also means ‘to be brave enough or rude enough to do something’. With this meaning, it can be used as an ordinary main verb which can be followed by a 'to'-infinitive or an infinitive without 'to' as in this statement, so 'he dare not tell you' is correct which means he was being brave enough to not confess.
Option A is incorrect because 'need' means 'have need of, want or  require' ,it also means 'to be under a necessity or obligation to do something'. 
In this case, 'need not tell you' means it's not necessary to tell the truth, which is wrong.
Option D stands the same explanation as for  'need' because 'must not tell' only means that it's not necessary to confess which is wrong. 
Option C is incorrect because 'he should not tell you' means the speaker suggests that the truth need not be told, which is wrong.

Option D: 'Being' means 'to occur, take place', 'the state of existing'. It completes the sentence in meaning, here the person cannot bear to be (to occur as) late. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Been' expresses past tense. It refers to an action that happened at a specific time, and is hence irrelevant here.
Option B: 'Be' is a base verb and is always used in the present or future tense. Here the sentence does not express any tense, or any particular time.
Option C: 'To' expresses motion in the direction of.
These words do not form complete meaningful sentences. Hence options A, B and C are wrong.

Note: The first sentence explains a fact and the second sentence explains the requirement of an action. 
Option A - 'Could' explains the possibility of a person who is able or allowed to do something. The sentence requires a modal that explains the necessity or requirement to do something and not the possibility, hence we can't use 'could'. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Would' is used to refer to the future time from the point of view of the past. We require the modal verb to be in the present tense as the sentence is in the simple present tense. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Will' is usually used to explain the things that are certainly going to happen in the future. The person has to do something as it is a necessity/requirement and not because it is certain, hence we can't use 'will' here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Must' is used to explain something necessary that happens in or should happen in the present or future. As the given sentence explains that the train is going to arrive, hence the person needs to leave. Thus option C is the correct answer.

In this statement, we wish to express 'ability' to learn new words by using a dictionary. So, the correct modal of ability is 'can'. 'might', 'would' and 'may' are used to express probabilities.

This statement conveys the necessity of painting the door. Hence, the correct modal to show necessity is 'needs'. 

Option C is the correct answer because it is different from other auxiliary verbs as it is followed by a to-infinitive, it  expresses ideas such as duty, necessity and moral obligation, hence the statement with ought in it means that having good manners is a duty or necessity.
The other three options are ruled out because they are verbs that must not be followed by 'to'.
