Fill Blanks

Question:

Fill in the blank with a suitable option from the given list :

"She told me that she ________ give me money."

Options:

Shall

Should

Must

Would

Correct Answer:

Would

Explanation:

The correct option to fill in the blank is: Option 4: Would

The word "would" is used to express willingness or intention in the past. In this context, "she told me that she would give me money" means that she expressed her intention to give me money at some point in the past.

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

  • Shall is used to make a promise or to express an intention in the future. It is not appropriate in this context because the sentence is about something that happened in the past.

  • Should is used to express obligation, duty, or advice. It is not appropriate in this context because the sentence is about her willingness or intention, not her obligation or duty.

  • Must is used to express obligation, compulsion, or necessity. It is not appropriate in this context because the sentence is about her willingness or intention, not her obligation or compulsion.
