In the above dialogues, we need to choose between "must," "can't," or "might" to fill in the blanks. Let's analyze each dialogue:

1. The speaker sees a bag and thinks it may belong to Rose. However, they notice that the bag is black, and Rose's bag is not black. Therefore, they conclude that it can't be Rose's bag. 2. The speaker hears that someone has passed their driving test and congratulates them. They assume that the person must be very happy. 3. The speaker is looking for Richard and suggests that he might be in a meeting. They offer to check Richard's diary to confirm. 4. The speaker learns that someone has just run 20km and concludes that they must feel exhausted. 5. The speaker offers a book to someone, thinking that they might like to borrow it instead of buying it. 6. The speaker is surprised to hear that someone is getting married and expresses disbelief, implying that they can't be serious. 7. The speaker hears that Daisy and Martin are on holiday in Sicily but contradicts this information by saying they can't be on holiday because they just saw Daisy in town.

By carefully considering the context of each dialogue, we can determine the appropriate word to fill in the blanks.
