Resposta esperada

(a) You should rest. — 'Should' gives advice or recommendation for well-being. (b) Drivers must wear seatbelts. — 'Must' signals legal obligation or rule; it's stronger than 'should' and emphasizes the law. (c) The train might be delayed. — 'Might' expresses a possible but uncertain situation; 'may' could also indicate possibility, but 'might' emphasizes uncertainty in this context.

Explicação

As opções escolhidas refletem a intenção de cada frase: 'should' é usado para oferecer conselhos, 'must' indica uma obrigação legal e 'might' sugere uma possibilidade incerta. Cada modal tem um grau diferente de certeza ou obrigação, o que é fundamental para transmitir a mensagem adequada. Essa escolha de modais garante que o significado pretendido seja claro e preciso.
