1. I am sure he ........ do this work tomorrow.
a) could b) will be able to c) was able to
Так как здесь слово "tomorrow", нам требуется будущее время.
2. I ........ wear a formal dress, I was having an interview that day.
a) must b) had to c) was to
Это прошедшее время, потому первый вариант отпадает, по смыслу подходит лишь второй, в котором говорится, что человек должен был одеть официальное платье.
3. When you meet him, you ..... be very careful not to upset him.
a) had to b) are to c) must
Здесь отпадает первый вариант, так как это не прошедшее время, опять же говорится, что "Ты должен быть очень внимательным". Потому только "must".
4. When I was young I ..... run for miles.
a) could b) can c) was able
Так как это прошедшее время, то отпадает второй вариант, а третий отпадает, так как после него не стоит частица "to".
5. Though he could hardly speak he ....... finish the lecture.
a) could b) was able to c) will be able
Так как это прошедшее время, третий вариант отпадает. Из двух вариантов лучше подходит "was able to", так как он означает "был способен", "смог".
6. When he is better he ..... have a walk in the garden when it’s fine.
a) will be allowed to b) can c) may
Здесь мы видим условное предложение первого типа с "when", потому во второй части обязательно должен быть глагол в Future Simple, то есть, только первый вариант.
