Question:

Fill in the blanks with appropriate modals:

They…………….. prepare their lessons well before their examination.

Options:

have to

may

must

will

Correct Answer:

must

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 3 - MUST

  • "Have to" expresses necessity or obligation, but it is usually used when the obligation comes from an external source (e.g., rules, regulations).

  • "May" expresses possibility or permission, which does not fit in this context.

  • "Must" expresses strong necessity or obligation, making it the best fit for this sentence.

  • "Will" is used for future intentions but does not indicate obligation.

Revised sentence:
They must prepare their lessons well before their examination.
