14.	1). Would be2). Could be3). Should be4). Must be
Answer» Careful reading of the sentence tells us that a future POSSIBILITY is being talked about. Since it is a case of ‘possibility’, we can easily discard OPTIONS 3 and 4. Now to arrive at the CORRECT answer, we must understand the difference between the two given modals. ‘could’ denotes possibility. Also, in some conditional present and future tenses of ‘can’, we use ‘could’. Things that could have been true or things that could yet come true, are DENOTED by ‘could’. On the other hand, ‘WOULD’ refers to something that is conditional but definite within those conditions. Thus, it also denotes possibility like ‘could’, but in a more certain and definite manner. ‘could be’, thus becomes the most appropriate choice. Also in the later part of the sentence, ‘could be’ is again used. This makes our answer more valid. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

Answer»

Careful reading of the sentence tells us that a future POSSIBILITY is being talked about.

Since it is a case of ‘possibility’, we can easily discard OPTIONS 3 and 4.

Now to arrive at the CORRECT answer, we must understand the difference between the two given modals.

‘could’ denotes possibility. Also, in some conditional present and future tenses of ‘can’, we use ‘could’. Things that could have been true or things that could yet come true, are DENOTED by ‘could’.
On the other hand, ‘WOULD’ refers to something that is conditional but definite within those conditions. Thus, it also denotes possibility like ‘could’, but in a more certain and definite manner.

‘could be’, thus becomes the most appropriate choice. Also in the later part of the sentence, ‘could be’ is again used. This makes our answer more valid.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

Answer» The word “humans’’ has been used in a plural form which clearly omits OPTION 2. We know, whenever we use a SUPERLATIVE degree of a word we always write it in singular form, so we cannot use most and best together in the sentence, as it will be a violation of rule and the same rule will follow with option 4 because very and best (superlative degree) cannot go together.

Discussion

26.	As of now, the demand for Petroleum ______ increasing.1). Is steadily2). Is going to steadily3). Was steadily4). Had been
Answer» The sentence is in present continuous tense as indicated by the usage of 'ing' after 'increase'. This means that the DEMAND for petrol is increasing at this POINT of time and will continue for a while. Option 1 has the most suitable answer as the USE of 'is' allows the sentence to be in present continuous form. ‘Is GOING to steadily’ will make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Since we are talking about RECENT events seen from the use of ‘now’, the past continuous (was steadily increasing) or the past perfect continuous are not appropriate (had been increasing) cannot be used here. Hence, 1 is the correct answer.
