Answer 1

Let’s understand the meaning of each option:

• A. ${\color{Red} \text{“Mite":}}$ It is a noun referring to a tiny arachnid, not a verb expressing uncertainty.
• B. ${\color{Blue}\text{“Would":} }$ It is a modal verb used for hypothetical situations or polite requests, not uncertainty about future plans.
• C. ${\color{Green} \text{“Might":}}$ It is a modal verb indicating possibility or uncertainty about a future action, fitting the context of the sentence.
• D. ${\color{Purple}\text{“Didn't": }}$It is the past tense of "do not" or "did not," not suitable for expressing uncertainty about future plans.
