Select the correct modal to fill in the blank.
________ you have coffee?
Answer: A
The key is 'Will'. 'Will you have coffee?' is an invitation, and offers and requests with 'will you' are accepted. 'Shall you', 'Can you' and 'May you' do not make a natural offer: 'May you have coffee' would be a wish, and 'Can you have coffee' asks about ability or permission. The answer follows the key and ordinary usage. 'Will you have coffee?' is a polite offer, in the same way as 'Will you have some tea?', and it is the usual idiom. 'May you have coffee' would be a blessing, 'Shall you' is stilted, and 'Can you have coffee' is a question about ability.
