Answer 2

In India, the death toll due to road accidents has increased drastically.

• Most of them could have been averted.
• Wider road awareness among road users should be taught.
• Separate lanes for vehicles should be made.
• More stringent laws must be enforced while issuing licenses.
• If we do not follow this, a degrading society like ours might fail the next day.

Modals:

Certain auxiliary verbs that add additional emphasis to the verb are modals.   These words communicate the function of the main verb in a sentence more effectively.  

These include auxiliary or small verbs like would, should, must, will, can, could, etc.  These modals precede the infinitive verb (without to) and will not change their form like regular verbs.

Depending upon the verb function and tense, modals are chosen.

• Must is a modal used to emphasize a strong rule, legality, obligation.
• Should can be used with advice or a conclusion.
• Could and might express a possibility.
