Question

Your Tamil _____ be very good if you have spent twenty years in Tamil Nadu.

[0.8 mark]

• A. must
• B. can to
• C. needs to
• D. will have to

Answer 1

The correct option is A must

For the given sentence, the probability of a person’s command over a language is discussed. So, “must” is the most appropriate modal verb to be used in the blank. “can” is used as a modal verb of possibility in the present, while the condition happened in the past. “Needs to” and “will have to” express absolute obligation, and are not applicable in this situation.
