Question

Fill in the blank with most appropriate word-
I ________ to go now. I have a class in 10 minutes.
a) Had better
b) Have got
c) Must
d) Should

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given phrase/sentence carefully. Try to make out the meaning of it and find the subject or the predicate or the main object of the sentence.

Complete answer:
 The given sentence conveys that the speaker has to leave now because he/she has a class in 10 minutes. We have to pay attention to the tenses of the sentence. Make out the subject and predicate and the object of the given sentences. There is a compound sentence given in the question.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option -
Option ‘a’ is Had better. We cannot use this in this question as it would be grammatically incorrect then. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘b’ is Have got. It can be the correct answer as we can use ‘have’ in the given sentence. ‘Have’ can be used for present/future tense, which can be used in this given sentence.
Option ‘c' is Must. It cannot be used in the given blank as ‘must’ cannot be used before ‘to’ in the sentence. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘d’ is Should. We cannot use this in the given blank. ‘Should' cannot go with ‘to'. So, we will eliminate this option as well.

Hence, option ‘b' is the correct option.

Note:
 All the other options are plausible distractions. Only the present tense can be used in the given question. That’s why ‘had better' cannot be chosen here.
