Every adult ______________ go to work.

c) Have to
d) Don’t have to

Answer 1

Hint:As per the options given we have to use the verbs to complete the sentence. A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical center of the predicate in a sentence.

Complete answer:
A verb is a word or a combination of words that indicate an action or a state of being or condition. A verb is the part of a sentence that tells us what the subject performs.
Here, we also have auxiliary verbs which are used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc. an example of such kinds of verbs are - be, do, have, will, shall, would, etc.
In the above-given sentence, we can see that it indicates a necessity or expresses a necessity and the subject (which is – adult) in the above-given sentence is in the singular form.
Since ‘have’ is a root verb and is generally used alongside the pronouns like – ‘I/you/ we etc. and plural nouns. Generally, ‘have’ is a present tense word. Now, the auxiliary verb ‘has’ is used with pronouns like – ‘He/ she/ it, etc. and singular nouns.
Since we have a singular form sentence above we will be using ‘has’ due to which the other options become incorrect. So, when using ‘has’ we have option (b) as the correct solution.

Note:
The verb ‘have’ is generally used alongside the pronouns like – ‘I/you/ we etc. and plural nouns and ‘has’ is used with pronouns like – ‘He/ she/ it etc. and singular nouns.
