Question

Complete the dialogue by selecting the right option:
Sushma: I don't think I _________ (can/could) go for the trip next month.
Neela: Oh no! ______ (May/ Should) I ask why?

• A. can; May
• B. can; Should
• C. could; May
• D. could; Should

Answer 1

The correct option is A can; May

The correct answer is Option A. Sushma gives her opinion about not going for the trip the next month. So, 'can' is used. Neela wants to asks her the reason but does not want to insist her on answering and so 'may' is used.

Options B, C and D are incorrect as the modals used do not align to the context.
