Question

We have enough food at home so we ______ go shopping today.

• A. couldn't
• B. needn't
• C. mustn't
• D. haven't

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

needn't

Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.

Option B is the correct option because it expresses the mood of something which is not needed to perform. According to the sentence there is enough food therefore it is not necessary to shop.

Whereas option A expresses inability;

option C something which is not supposed to be done with extreme obligation;

option D expresses something that has never been done. therefore it doesn't fit in the sentence.
