Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Could be.
"Could be" expresses possibility or speculation, which matches the sentence's meaning.
Correct sentence:
It is said by some cricket experts that Virat Kohli could be on the verge of crossing Ponting in the list of captains with the most international hundreds.
Why the other options are not suitable:
- "Would" is used for conditionals, polite requests, or habitual past actions; it does not express this possibility naturally.
- "Should be" suggests expectation or advisability.
- "Must be" suggests strong certainty or necessity.
Therefore, "Could be" is the most appropriate choice.
