Fill in the blanks by choosing the correct option.

Answer:

1. Used to

2. am

3. many

4. the

5. are

6. must                                  

Explanation:

• In English grammar, an article, a modal auxiliary verb, proposition, determiners etc. enrich the correctness of anything written or spoken.

• 1. "Used to" is a word that describes how something is an event and an action.  This shows the frequent repetition of the action.

• 2. "Are" represents a plurality, we can never place are after 'I' because I am a singular word that always fits well with the verb "am".

3. 'Books' is the plural countable noun in the sentence. While 'Any' is used in negative and interrogative sentences. This sentence isn't negative but is interrogative. 'Many' is used with plural countable nouns.

4. In English grammar (A, An and The) are called articles, used to modify a noun in a sentence. There are two types of articles

i) Definite article and ii) Indefinite article. A and An are called indefinite articles while "The" is called the definite article. "The" is used when the noun has a specific meaning.

5. A pair of binary nouns, such as trousers and binoculars show ambiguity in subject-verb agreement. One reason for this is because pair and trousers are both two-part words that might be difficult to pronounce.

The worse part is, that nouns with the plural suffix "s," like pants and scissors, cause the proximity criterion to be applied incorrectly. Hence "are" is the correct option.

6. 'must' expresses compulsion or strong obligation, as in this case, obeying seniors indicates an obligation.

While 'can' expresses the ability to do something that does not make sense in this context.
