Question:

Fill in the blanks with the correct modal
You ____ an ENT as soon as you _____ this irritating pain

Options:

could visit/feel

might visit/feel

had to visit/feel

should have visited/felt

Correct Answer:

should have visited/felt

Explanation:

The correct answer is OPTION 4 - "should have visited/felt"

You should have visited an ENT as soon as you felt this irritating pain.

  • "Should have visited" is used to indicate a past obligation or a missed advisable action. This means that visiting the ENT was the right thing to do, but it was not done at the correct time.

  • "Felt" is the correct past tense of "feel" because the sentence refers to a past situation.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • "Could visit/feel"  (Incorrect, as "could visit" suggests possibility rather than obligation.

  • "Might visit/feel"  (Incorrect, as "might visit" expresses uncertainty rather than a strong suggestion.)

  • "Had to visit/feel"  (Incorrect, as "had to visit" would imply a compulsion rather than advice for a missed action.)
