Do I need finish this work today itself?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Need I.
- “Need” can be used both as a main verb and as a modal auxiliary verb.
- When in a sentence 'need' is used as a main verb, then we have to use 'to' after it.
- Also, we use “do” / “does” to make questions.
- But in the given sentence, 'need' is used as an auxiliary modal verb, we don't have to use 'to'.
- Also, we do not have to use “do” or “does”, in such cases.
- For example: “Need I say more?” It implies that 'Do I need to explain myself anymore?'
The correct sentence is:- Need I finish this work today itself?
