Grammar: Modal

Question:

Complete the sentence with a suitable modal.

You ________ bring a change of new clothes, since we may have to stay overnight.

Options:

need to

dare to

ought to

used to

Correct Answer:

need to

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - need to

You need to bring a change of new clothes, since we may have to stay overnight.

  • "Need to" indicates necessity or obligation, which fits well in the context of the sentence where it suggests that bringing a change of clothes is important due to the possibility of staying overnight.
  • The other options do not convey the same level of necessity:
    • "Dare to" implies courage to do something, which does not fit here.
    • "Ought to" suggests a recommendation but is less direct than "need to."
    • "Used to" refers to past habits and does not fit the context of this sentence.
