Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes a threat.
He has lost your book and he ____ not tell you.Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D dare
Option C is the correct answer because 'dare' means to be brave enough to do something difficult or dangerous , or to be rude or silly enough to do something that you have no right to do. In this case, confessing about the lost book is a daring task to be done, and so the speaker says he will not be able to dare to.Option A, B and D are incorrect because 'must', 'should' and 'need' are used to make a suggestion(should) or when something is required to be done (must and need) , which is not correct here because that means it is not needed to confess.
