Question:

Fill in the blank with suitable word from the given options:

______ I switch the air conditioner on?

Options:

Will

Should

Must

Do

Correct Answer:

Should

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Should

  • "Should" is the most appropriate word here, as it is used to seek permission or offer advice, especially in more polite or formal contexts.
  • "Will" can be used to express willingness for future actions.
  • "Must" is used for necessity or obligation, which is not appropriate here.
  • "Do I switch the air conditioner on?"
  • This phrasing is incorrect in this context. "Do" would generally be used in questions about habitual actions (e.g., "Do I usually switch the air conditioner on?") or when seeking confirmation about facts, neither of which fits here.
