Correct option is B
The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) Need I.
Explanation:
The sentence uses a question structure but
“Do I need finish” is incorrect because
“need” as a
modal verb does
not take “do/does” in interrogative structure when used as a
modal auxiliary.
Correct:
Need I finish this work today itself?
Grammatical Rule:
· When “need” is used as a
modal verb (showing necessity), it does not require
do/does/did.
· Structure:
Need + subject + base verb + object?
Example:
· ❌ Do I need speak now?
· ✅ Need I speak now?
�� Info Booster:
“Need” can be both a
main verb and a
modal verb.
· As a main verb: I do not need help.
· As a modal: Need I go now?
Why other options are incorrect:
•
(a) – “Must I to” is incorrect (modal “must” not followed by “to”)
•
(c) – Original sentence has incorrect modal usage.
•
(d) – “Do I must” is grammatically invalid.
