Think of the appropriate Modal verb (or its equivalent) and use it with the Infinitive in brackets. The hint (in square brackets after each sentence) and the italicized words will help you do it. Don't forget that the Infinitive can be either in its Active or Passive form.
Write the correct sentence in the space opposite the original one. If necessary, change the word order. The first sentence has been done for you.
