Question

She ____swim for hours at the age of eight. Choose one... 1. can 2.may 3.might 4.could

Answer 1

She (3) COULD swim for hours at the age of eight.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option can be could/can.

Explanation:

In the question, we have been asked to fill the blank with one of the given words, the sentence, and the words are:

She ____swim for hours at the age of eight.

1. can 2. May 3. might 4. could

So out of the given options, could is the word that will be most suitable for the blank as it tells that she could swim for hours when she was eight.

She could swim for hours at the age of eight.

But if we have to talk about the present, we can also choose can as the suitable word, because it will then represent that she can swim for hours and she is still aged 8.

She can swim for hours at the age of eight.
