Os verbos modais (modal auxiliary verbs) são um componente central da frase verbal em inglês, utilizados para expressar uma variedade de nuances de significado, como habilidade, permissão, obrigação, possibilidade ou dedução. Eles possuem características gramaticais distintas dos verbos principais, como a ausência de "-s" na terceira pessoa do singular e o fato de serem seguidos por um infinitivo sem "to". O uso de "must", "might" e "can't" para expressar diferentes graus de certeza ou dedução é um exemplo de sua aplicação. Assinale a alternativa que descreve corretamente o uso desses verbos modais para dedução lógica sobre uma situação presente.


A

O modal "must" é usado para expressar uma dedução lógica ou alta certeza (e.g., *He is not answering his phone. He must be busy.*), "might" ou "may" indicam possibilidade (e.g., *He might be in a meeting.*), e "can't" é usado para expressar forte descrença ou certeza negativa (e.g., *He can't be at home.*).


B

Os modais "might" e "must" são sinônimos no contexto de dedução e ambos indicam uma obrigação forte que o sujeito deve cumprir.


C

O modal "should" é o principal verbo usado para expressar certeza absoluta sobre um fato presente (dedução), enquanto "must" é usado apenas para obrigação legal ou moral.


D

Para expressar uma dedução negativa (certeza de que algo não é), utiliza-se o modal "mustn't" (e.g., *He mustn't be at home.*), enquanto "can't" é reservado apenas para falta de habilidade.
