Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
I ________ rather go shopping tomorrow. I have a lot of work today.

• A. would
• B. can
• C. much
• D. will

Answer 1

The correct option is A would

The modal 'would' forms a modal phrase with 'rather' that expresses choice. For example, 'I would rather go shopping than stay at home.'

The phrase 'would rather' is a set phrase and cannot be replaced by other modals like 'can' or 'will'. Hence option A is correct.

'Much' is a quantifier that expresses the quantity of something. Here, it cannot express any amount.

Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
