From the words or groups of words below, choose the words or group of words that best complete each of the following sentences:
This ________ be David's handwriting. I know his handwriting well enough
A. may B. will C. ought D. can't
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D. can't.
- Can't: This choice is correct because it expresses strong disbelief or certainty that something is not possible. The speaker is confident that the handwriting does not belong to David, hence "can't" fits well.
- May: Incorrect, as it implies possibility, which contradicts the speaker's confidence in knowing David's handwriting.
- Will: Incorrect, as it suggests future certainty, which does not apply in this context.
- Ought: Incorrect, as it implies expectation or obligation, which doesn't fit the context of recognizing handwriting.
Summary:
- This can't be David's handwriting. I know his handwriting well enough is the appropriate sentence that reflects the speaker's certainty that the handwriting does not belong to David.
