Basic Answer
Core Answer:

- Might
- Should/Must
- Should/Ought to
- Would
Reasons and Explanations:
Reason 1: “Can” and “could” are modal verbs expressing ability or possibility. “Can” refers to present ability, while “could” refers to past ability or a more polite/tentative way of expressing present ability.
Reason 2: “Might” indicates a possibility, suggesting a low probability of something happening. It expresses a weaker possibility than “may” or “could.”
Reason 3: “Should” expresses a recommendation or obligation, suggesting something is advisable or necessary. “Must” expresses a stronger obligation or necessity.
Reason 4: “Should” and “ought to” are both used to give advice or make suggestions, although “ought to” is less common in modern English.
Reason 5: “Would” is often used to express a wish or desire, particularly in hypothetical or conditional situations.
Summary:
The answers identify the modal verbs that correspond to the given descriptions of their usage: indicating ability, slight chance, necessity, advice, and desire, respectively.
