Q.2 Pick the correct modal from the two choices given in the article below and underline
the correct one-

As we get older and when we think about our past we sometimes ponder the things that
we should/can have done. And we also may/shall regret those things we did badly and
the mistakes we made. In reality, we be able to/can always learn from our mistakes and
hope to never make them again. For example, if I failed a test because of a lack of
study, the next test I will/must hope to pass because of hard work. Remember too that
some regrets are not based in reality and we must/may waste time thinking that they
are. Would/should I have really not have been involved in a car crash if I had been
driving more slowly? After all, the other driver ought to/will have been concentrating
and not playing with their radio. We have to/would be honest with ourselves and live in
the now. The only things we used to/can control are the things happening now, in this
moment.
