I looked this question up and, in one of the sites where I found it, each number had two answer choices. Just in case, I will use them here.

1.

A. She may / might / could be working too hard.

B. She must be working too hard.

2.

A. He must not earn very much.

B. He may not / might not earn very much.

Answer:

The answers are:

1. A. She may / might / could be working too hard.

2. B. He may not / might not earn very much.

Explanation:

The modal verbs "may", "might" and "could" are used to express possibility. Therefore, they do not convey much certainty, that is, the speaker is not 100% sure of what he / she is saying, but he / she knows there is a possibility of being right.

That is why those verbs are the best ones to complete the sentences above. In both cases, the speaker is supposing, assuming something. In the first sentence, the speaker believes it is possible that Deborah is tired because she is working too hard. In the second one, the speaker assumes "he" is likely to not earn much because he never goes on holiday.

Note: "Could" is also used to express ability in some cases.

rising action: the moment that the story says "She ran past one plane after another. They were all parked in the hangar, just as they had been the day the force fields came down around the airport, trapping fifteen hundred people inside. The force fields seemed to be electromagnetic prisons, although no one knew for sure what they were made from or for what purpose. They appeared around cities and small towns, around farms and islands, and even around tiny villages in the middle of Africa. They were everywhere—and nobody knew who put them there."

Climax: when she finally scape from the airplane, thanks to a space bellow the mirror.

Resolution conflict: She scape from the airport but she fell fear and guilty because on the back of the mirror that she scape says " Use this to get out, from Kate" so she and Mr. Jacks were the only ones how scape.

In the short story, "The Glass of Milk" the writer mentions the SEA a lot. This is not an accident. He uses the sea as metaphor
Brums [2.3K]

In the short story "The Glass of Milk" by Manuel Rojas, the boy sees the sea as a representation of freedom. The boy looks out to the sea often because he is free to do and travel as he please. In contrast to the sea, the writer describes the great city as "... a place of slavery:  stale, dark, without the grand sweep of the sea; among its high walls and narrow streets people lived and died bewildered by agonizing drudgery.
