However

Nonetheless

Despite

Question 4

Accepted Answer

B) couldn't. Este vorba de o incapacitate din trecut („until I was eleven”), deci se folosește „couldn't” (nu puteam, nu știam). „Mustn't” și „oughtn't” exprimă interdicție sau obligație, iar „can't” este la prezent.

mustn't

Answer

can't

Answer

oughtn't
