Choose the suitable Modal to complete the following sentence: ______…

The correct answer is Option (2) → Can

Note: The given answer is as per the official NTA Answer Key. However, more than one answer is possible here: Option (2) "Can" and Option (3) "Might" both make a correct sentence, as explained below.

Option 1: Ought to — Incorrect.

• Ought to expresses duty, not permission.
• "Ought to I eat ...?" is also ungrammatical; the question form is "Ought I to ...?".
  Example: You ought to help your mother at home.

Option 2: Can — Correct (Answer as per NTA).

• Can is the everyday modal for asking permission (Can I ...?).
• The speaker asks permission to eat some chocolates in an everyday situation, so "Can" is correct.
• Complete sentence: Can I eat some chocolates?
  Example: Can I borrow your pen for a minute?

Option 3: Might — Can also be considered as correct.

• Might is used for a polite, tentative request for permission (Might I ...?).
• "Might I eat some chocolates?" is grammatical; it asks the same permission more politely.
  Example: Might I ask your name, sir?

Option 4: Would — Incorrect.

• "Would I eat ...?" asks about an imagined situation or a habit, not permission.
• A request with would is made to the other person ("Would you ...?"), not for oneself.
  Example: Would you pass me the salt, please?
