The answers are as follows.
Explanation:
(a) Andrew eat five slices of pizza in just one meal. (have to, must, can)
- Here, the sentence talks of Andrew's capability of eating five slices of pizza in one meal, not specifying the time (either right now or in the past). Thus, the answer will be "Andrew can eat five slices of pizza in just one meal."
- "have to" and "must" suggests a forced and future happening which isn't the case of the sentence.
(b) In the middle ages, people travel by plane. (could, can't, had to)
- The sentence talks of the past so the sentence will become "In the middle ages, people can't travel by plane".
- "Could" and "can't" are not plausible for it suggests the possibility of air travel in the middle ages which is not possible.
(c) Kate is ill, so she stay in bed. (can, has to, can;t)
- The sentence states that "Kate is ill so she has to stay in bed".
- "can" or "can't" cannot be used in the sentence as they suggest a possibility, and not a necessity for the sick Kate.
