    • D.

      Must

    Correct Answer
    D. Must
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "must." This is because the word "must" indicates a requirement or obligation. In the given sentence, it suggests that there is a rule or regulation that prohibits flying the object within 50 meters of built-up areas.

    ‘You  ……… be careful if you are in a public place such as a park.’

    • A.

      Mustn’t

    • B.

      Ought

    • C.

      Have to

    • D.

      Have been

    Correct Answer
    C. Have to
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "have to". This is because the sentence suggests that it is necessary or required to be careful in a public place like a park. "Mustn't" would imply that it is prohibited to be careful, which doesn't make sense in this context. "Ought" is not used to express necessity in this way. "Have been" is past tense and does not fit the sentence structure. Therefore, "have to" is the most appropriate choice.
