Fill in the blank with the appropriate modal.

He said that he _______ come, provided he gets the ticket for the train.

A. will
B. can
C. might
D. may

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

C only

The correct answer is Option (2) - C only

"Might" is the correct modal here because:

• The sentence is in reported speech (past tense: "He said...")

• "Might" expresses possibility in the past/future conditional context.

• It fits well with the condition "provided he gets the ticket."

• Will – Too definite; doesn't match the past reporting.

• Can – Expresses ability, not possibility.

• May – Present tense; not suitable in reported speech.
