(A), (C), (D) Only

(A), (B) Only

(A), (B), (D) Only

Correct Answer:

(A), (B) Only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B) Only

The sentence "You _____ your notebooks from tomorrow." suggests that bringing notebooks will no longer be necessary. The correct modal verbs must fit this meaning.

 (A) should not bring → Correct

  • "Should not" expresses advice or recommendation against bringing notebooks.

 (B) need not bring → Correct

  • "Need not" expresses the absence of necessity, which fits well in the sentence.

 (C) need not to bringIncorrect

  • "Need not" is followed by the base verb ("bring"), so "need not to bring" is grammatically incorrect.

 (D) mustn't have broughtIncorrect

  • "Mustn't have brought" refers to a past action that was wrong, while the sentence is about future actions ("from tomorrow").
