Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: motorists must have to
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
This tests modality and the redundancy of stacking must with have to. In standard usage, must and have to both express obligation; combining them is ungrammatical or at least nonstandard in formal writing.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use one marker of obligation: either must or have to. Choose must for strong speaker-imposed necessity or have to for external necessity. Do not stack them together.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Substitute: They must be cautious vs They have to be cautious. Both are grammatical; the stacked form is not.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Common Pitfalls:
Learners often overemphasize necessity by doubling modals. Use one clear marker.
Final Answer:
Option B contains the error. Use must be or have to be, not must have to be.
