Answer 2

Answer:

The modal auxiliary to be used in this case is "can"

Explanation:

• A verb is said to be modal if it can be used in only in conjunction with another verb and never by itself.
• Modals can convey permission, ability, prediction, possibility, or necessity, among other meanings.
• In the question that was presented, the blank space needs to be filled with a modal for ability. Can, able to, could, might, and possibly are some of the different ways that ability can be expressed.
• In the sentence, the main verb "play" is in the simple present form. This means that the most appropriate modal auxiliary to use here is "can".
• The word can signify someone's definite ability to perform a particular action.
