Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from those given below.

"I ______ do it," said the student.

• A. May
• B. Can
• C. Could
• D. Might

Answer 1

The correct option is B Can

'May' and 'might' are both used to indicate a possibility of something happening, with 'might' showing a lesser possibility. 'Could' indicates a past ability or possibility and is also used to ask for permission or to make requests. 'Can' is used to indicate the ability to do something. So, in the given sentence, the tone of the student suggests his ability to do something and the correct answer, therefore, is option B) can.
