Soru:
Choose the correct modal verb to complete the sentence about animal abilities.
The cheetah ______ run at speeds of up to 120 km/h.
Çözüm:
💡 Modal verbs express ability, obligation, or advice. We need to find the one that shows what an animal is able to do.
- ➡️ Option a) must: This expresses necessity or obligation (e.g., "You must do your homework"). It doesn't fit here because we are talking about an ability, not a rule.
- ➡️ Option b) can: This verb is used to express ability or capability (e.g., "I can swim"). This perfectly describes the cheetah's physical ability to run very fast.
- ➡️ Option c) should: This gives advice (e.g., "You should eat healthy food"). It doesn't describe the cheetah's inherent ability.
✅ The correct answer is b) can. The sentence is: "The cheetah can run at speeds of up to 120 km/h."
