Choose all modal verbs that could complete the sentence naturally:

“You _______ try restarting your computer. It often helps.”

must

should

might

could

Answer explanation

• Should — лучший выбор, если это совет.

• Might и could тоже подойдут, если говорящий не уверен, но предлагает попробовать.

• Must здесь не подходит, потому что это слишком категорично — “обязан”, а здесь дается совет.

might

must

must have

should have

Answer explanation

• Must have left — выражает уверенное предположение о прошлом.

• Should have left — может использоваться как сожаление или ожидание (“она должна была уйти”).
