A and D only

C and D only

Correct Answer:

C and E only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - C and E only {(C) does , (E) doesn't}

-Modals are auxiliary verbs that express necessity, possibility, permission, or ability. Common modals include can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would.


- Ought (A) and should (D) are modals because they express obligation or advisability.
- Must (B) is a modal because it expresses necessity or strong obligation.
- Does (C) and doesn't (E) are not modals. They are forms of the auxiliary verb "do," used to form questions and negative statements in the present tense. They do not express the same kind of meanings as modals.
