Fill in the blank with the appropriate modal. He _______ come today. (possibility)

Correct option is A

Explanation:

The modal "may" is used to express possibility. The sentence "He may come today" suggests that there is a possibility of him coming today, without confirming it as certain.

Information Booster:

"May" is commonly used to indicate:

Possibility: "It may rain later."

Permission: "May I leave early today?"

"May" is a modal verb that allows the speaker to indicate that something is uncertain but possible.

Additional Knowledge:

(but) is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast, not a modal verb. Example: "I wanted to go, but I was too tired."

(because) is a conjunction used to give a reason, and it does not fit in this context. Example: "He stayed home because he was sick."

(as) is a conjunction used to indicate a relationship of time or manner, not a modal verb. Example: "She sings as beautifully as a bird."
