Question

Fill in the blank with a modal auxiliary from the choices given below:
Gandhiji ___ advise Nehru and Patel.

• A. Ought to
• B. Would
• C. Used to
• D. Could

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Used to

The correct option is C. 'Used to' is used for something that happened but doesn't happen anymore. Here the sentence speaks about the past tense. Thus option C is correct. Rest of the options are not used for those actions which happened in past and doesn't happen anymore.
