Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The modal auxiliary verb 'should' is always followed by the base form of the verb (V
1
), which is 'have', not 'had'. However, looking at the choices and the context of certainty ("will surely succeed"), must have expresses a strong necessity or certain obligation, which fits grammatically and contextually.
Alternatively, "must have" acts as a strong recommendation or requirement for future success. Let's analyze the options:
'could have' refers to past possibility.
'must have' indicates a strong present necessity/requirement to ensure future outcome ("that we will surely succeed").
Thus, "must have" is the correct replacement.
