Question 54

Given below are four statements:

Statement I: You must be pleased to hear that I’ve already got the tickets.
Statement II: You'll be pleased to hear that I’ve already got the tickets.
Statement III: I have friends who would love to stay at home, but they have to go to work.
Statement IV: I have friends who should love to stay at home, but they must go to work.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. Statement II and Statement III are correct.
3. Statement II and Statement IV are correct.
4. Only Statement IV is correct.

Solution

Considering statements (I) and (II), since the speaker is informing about obtaining the tickets, the sentence should be in the future tense. Hence (II) is the correct sentence.

Considering statements (III) and (IV), "would" is the correct auxiliary verb to use as it shows a possibility, whereas should indicates an obligation, which does not suit the context of the sentence.

Thus, (II) and (III) are correct.

Hence, the answer is option B.
