Explanation

The exercise instructs to complete the sentences using 'could' based on the function given in brackets. For sentence 4, the function is 'possibility'.

  2. Step 2: Identify the function for sentence 4, which is 'possibility'.

  3. Step 3: Formulate the phrase using 'could' to express present possibility regarding a location, which is 'could be at'.
