English
Grammar: Modal
Fill in the blanks with the correct modal There are plenty of fruits in the fridge. You _____ buy any.
mustn't
needn't
shouldn't
must
The correct answer is OPTION 2 -needn't
The sentence means it’s not necessary to buy fruits because there are already plenty.
"Needn't" expresses lack of necessity, which fits best.
mustn't = not allowed (too strict)
shouldn't = not advisable (more of a warning)
must = necessary (opposite meaning)
So, the correct sentence is:"There are plenty of fruits in the fridge. You needn't buy any."
