| Remark | In the test sentence ‘I can't understand anything. ______________ you help me, please?’ due to the context ‘…help me, please’ we understand that somebody is asking for help.When we make requests, we can use ‘can’ or ‘could’ (but not ‘may’ or ‘might’).‘Could’ is more polite than ‘can’: (more informal) Can I go home?; Can you do me a favour?; (more polite) Could I borrow you laptop today, please?; Could you give me a lift, please?; Could I have something to drink?Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 4 ‘could’. |
