Resposta esperada

a) "Students must submit weekly homework by Friday under the new policy." — 'must' indicates a rule imposed by school authority, signaling obligation. b) "You should rest, drink fluids, and monitor your symptoms for a mild cold." — 'should' gives professional advice, a recommended action without strict compulsion. c) "It might rain tomorrow, so consider taking an umbrella." — 'might' expresses uncertainty about a future event and a lower degree of probability. Brief note: use 'must' or 'have to' for obligations (authority/requirements), 'should' for recommendations, and 'may/might' for possibilities, with 'might' often signaling less certainty than 'may.'

Explicação

Cada frase utiliza o modal apropriado para expressar a intenção específica da situação apresentada. 'Must' e 'have to' são usados para obrigações impostas, enquanto 'should' sugere recomendações e 'might' indica incerteza sobre eventos futuros. Essa escolha de modais reflete a força da obrigação, a natureza da recomendação e o nível de probabilidade associado à previsão.
