PART B: -

• The first part of this exercise is to complete the missing blanks in the given paragraph with the appropriate missing verbs. Complete them with the proper tenses and forms.
• The second part of the exercise is to complete the sentences with the options given below. These options are modal and are used in different ways therefore it is important to remember what each modal is used for,
• Part B has a slight error in the second option as we are given a bunch of phrases but not any instructions on what to do with them. Therefore it is a bit incoherent. The first half is to write a paragraph of what you are going to say when you place an order. Which is very subjective and differs from person to person.
