Question

Select the option that best fills in the blank in the given sentence to complete it logically and correctly.

Children _______ to free education.

• A. Should entitle
• B. Should be entitled
• C. Should to be entitled
• D. Should be entitle

Answer 1

The correct option is B Should be entitled

The sentence talks about a privilege being granted to children. This means 'children' is not the doer but the receiver of the action. Thus the sentence has to use passive form of the verb 'entitle' with the modal verb 'should'. When we write modals with verbs in passive form, the structure is 'modal + be + past participle'. So the correct answer is 'should be entitled'.
