If you have a tendency to squint when you read, you might needed glasses.
Question

In the following question, a sentence is given with a part highlighted. Choose the option that gives the correct replacement of the highlighted portion and makes the sentence grammatically and contextually meaningful.


If you have a tendency to squint when you read, you might needed glasses.

A.

you read, you might be in need

B.

you read, you may need

C.

you read, you might have needed

D.

you read, you might have need of

E.

No improvement needed

Correct option is B

Why:
• After a modal (may/might), the verb must be in base form: need, not needed.
• The sentence states a present/general condition (“have a tendency”), so “may need” is natural and correct.

Option check:
• A: “might be in need” + “glasses” → would require “of”: “in need of glasses.” As written, it yields “in need glasses,” which is incorrect.
• B: “may need” + “glasses” → correct and idiomatic.
• C: “might have needed” shifts to past possibility; mismatches the general present condition.
• D: “might have need of” + “glasses” is grammatical but stilted/archaic; not preferred.
• E: No improvement is impossible because “might needed” is ungrammatical.

Corrected sentence:
If you have a tendency to squint when you read, you may need glasses.
