B only

C & E only

D & E only

Correct Answer:

B only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - B only

  • The sentence "We haven't got much time. We ______ hurry." suggests a strong necessity or obligation to act quickly.
  • "Must" is the most appropriate modal verb because it indicates urgency and necessity.

OTHER OPTIONS

  • A. "may"  (Incorrect) – "May" expresses possibility, not urgency.
  • C. "can"  (Incorrect) – "Can" expresses ability, not necessity.
  • D. "could"  (Incorrect) – "Could" expresses past ability or polite suggestions, which does not fit here.
  • E. "should"  (Incorrect) – "Should" suggests advice or recommendation, but "must" is stronger and more appropriate for urgency.
