Fill in the blank with the correct modal:
This venture ______ go out of business soon if it doesn't work towards increasing its competitiveness in the market.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → might
The completed sentence would be:
"This venture might go out of business soon if it doesn't work towards increasing its competitiveness in the market."
"Might" indicates a possibility or likelihood of something happening in the future, which fits well with the context of the sentence, expressing uncertainty about the venture's future success.
-
should suggests obligation or recommendation, but doesn't convey the uncertainty of the outcome.
- won't indicates a strong possibility of not going out of business, which isn't the intended meaning.
- will suggests certainty of going out of business, which is also not ideal.
