Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

The children have done their homework. I think they ______ have a rest now.

• A. may
• B. might
• C. are
• D. could
• E. will be able to

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

may

The correct answer is Option A.

MAY is used to grant permission to do something. In the given sentence, the speaker is granting permission to take rest.

Thus MAY is the correct answer.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

MIGHT is the past tense, the sentence is in the present tense,

ARE is the plural form of BE.

COULD and WILL BE ABLE TO express ability.
