    LESSON B I can’t explain it!

    1 GRAMMAR
    Underline the modals in the sentences. Then write C for modals expressing degrees of
    certainty or O for modals expressing obligation, advice, or opinion.
    C 1. Some people are certain the boats and airplanes
    that have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle
    must have vanished due to human error.
    Bermuda
    C 2. Others believe the boats and airplanes that
    disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle could have
    been affected by supernatural forces.
    O 3. The people who vanished should have planned
    their route more carefully to avoid entering the
    Bermuda Triangle.
    Florida
    C 4. Experts say the people who got lost in the Bermuda
    Triangle must not have been prepared for strong Puerto Rico
    water currents and changing weather patterns.
    O 5. While many people have successfully navigated
    through the Bermuda Triangle, there are others
    who shouldn’t have tried, as they are now missing.

    2 GRAMMAR
    Choose the phrase that best completes each sentence.

    THE BLOG SPACE August 31

    I just watched a documentary about the princess who died in a mysterious car accident.
    It was so interesting – everyone (1) should watch / should have been watching it. The
    princess was too young and smart to die in such an awful accident. Many people feel
    that she (2) shouldn’t have gone / may not have been going in the car that night. Anyway,
    the documentary said there are many theories about how the car accident happened.
    Some people think the car’s brakes (3) might have been tampered / should have tampered
    with. Others believe that the princess’s driver (4) should have caused / could have caused
    the accident. Some even think the princess (5) could have been kidnapped / could have
    kidnapped. The police never figured out what really happened. I’m not sure what to believe,
    but there (6) shouldn’t have been / must have been a way to solve this mystery!
