• A. will
• B. would
• C. must
• D. can

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

must

The first sentence states that Helen is always reading books. Thus, we can conclude that the second sentence means that it is reasonable to assume that she likes to read. The answer must indicate the above meaning.

Option A is incorrect. It indicates that Helen is going to like to read in the future. Thus, it does not indicate the correct meaning and is not the answer.

Option B is incorrect. 'would' indicates that it can be assumed that Helen wants to read and not that Helen likes to read. Thus, it does not indicate the required meaning.

Option C is correct. 'must' indicates that it can be assumed that Helen likes to read. Thus, it conveys the correct the correct meaning and is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect. 'can' indicates that Helen has the ability to like to read. Thus, it does not indicate the correct meaning and is incorrect.
