Fill in the Blanks with Correct Modals:
"Raj hasn't studied well. He ____ fail his exam."

Last updated Sep 6, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — may
Explanation
May is used to express a strong possibility or likelihood based on present evidence ("Raj hasn't studied well").

Why not the others?

Can is used to show general ability or theoretical possibility, not a specific prediction based on a current situation.

Could implies a weaker or conditional possibility.

Shall is used for formal offers, promises, or future intentions, which doesn't fit a possibility of failing.
