Question

Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes necessity in a formal context:
_______ he wait any longer?

• A. Can
• B. Have
• C. Need
• D. Would

Answer 1

The correct option is C Need

Option A - 'Can' is used for possibility and ability, it can't be used for necessity. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Have' is used for possession and not for necessity. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'Would' is used to explain possibility in the future with the past's point of view. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option C - 'Need' explains the necessity and is used in a formal context as well. Thus option C is the correct answer.

'Need' he wait any longer?
