Grammar: Modal

Question:

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.

Options:

should

won't

might

will

Correct Answer:

might

Explanation:

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.
