Which of the following modals do not express' possibility'?
-
A.
Could
-
B.
Must
-
C.
Might
-
D.
May
Correct Answer:
B. Must
Explanation:
The modal verb "must" is not used to express possibility. Instead, "may," "might," and "could" are employed to suggest that something is possible but not certain, such as "They might be at home." While "can" is used for general statements about possibility, speculation regarding the past requires the use of "may have," "might have," or "could have," as seen in the phrase "They could have got lost."
