Hi,you can't say "must" or "should" here,as the sentence is in past simple,you should use "had to" which expresses necessity imposed by circumstances in this situation. _________________ "Never judge a book by its cover..." |

b. must c. should d. would
which one best?
Rule out D immediately. Absolutely incorrect.
" He believes ".... suggests that C is the correct answer, otherwise if B were the correct answer, then it would read, " He said we must ........." _________________ Keep it simple ... Keep it interesting. |

Why not 'must' as a sense of urgency is denoted by 'right away'? _________________ First lesson - English, not english. I, not i. ~A student of English |

| I think "he believes" is the reason as Kitosdad said,so "right away" is no longer important here |
