Question

“I have not yet decided what I will do this evening; I______visit a friend.”

Correct answer (C) might Solution The sentence expresses a lack of certainty or a possibility regarding a future action. The modal verb 'might' is used to indicate that something is possible but not certain. 'Mite' is a noun referring to a small creature or a tiny amount. 'Would' implies a conditional or a more definite intention. 'Didn't' is the past tense negative and does not fit the future context of 'this evening'. Turn this into a strength.
