English question from Panchayat Secretary (VLW) exam, 2025 by JKSSB

Select the right modal for the blank:
There are plenty of tomatoes in the fridge.
You ___________ buy any.

Last updated May 30, 2026
Correct Answer: Option C — needn't
The Completed Sentence:
There are plenty of tomatoes in the fridge. You needn't buy any.

Explanation:
Needn't (short for need not) is used to express a lack of necessity. Since the fridge is already full of tomatoes, it is not necessary to buy more.

Why the other options don't fit:
Couldn't (A) / Cannot (B): These imply a lack of ability or permission (as if you are physically unable or forbidden to buy them), which doesn't fit the context.

Will not (D): This implies a future certainty or flat refusal to buy them, rather than addressing the fact that it isn't required.
