p. 104 part 1 - choose the correct modals to complete the sentences and match them to the headlines
a 2 - must / could
b 1 - can’t
c 3 - might have
d 3 - can’t have
e 1 - might
f 2 - must / might

gullible = too quick to believe unreasonable claims without good evidence
skeptical = slow to believe new claims without good evidence
