Question

Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal:

It is very cloudy today. It _______ rain.

• A. May
• B. Would
• C. Can't
• D. Must

Answer 1

The correct option is A May

Option A is the correct answer because “may” is used to express possibility, hence it is correct as the statement expresses a possibility that it might rain.

Option B is incorrect because “would” is the past tense of will and expresses certainty.

Option C Is incorrect because “can’t” means there is no possibility for it to rain, which is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because it must rain expresses certainty, which is incorrect as the statement expresses possibility and not certainty.
