✔ 最佳答案

1. Candidates MAY not use calculators for this paper. 這是指示句，並不是開放式的選擇，因此這may是"容許"的意思。

2. I don t think I ll get there in time but I MIGHT as well try. 這句本人已經明知準時到達的"機會"不大，但仍表示"姑且"一試，所以便用"不確定"的might.

3. What you say MAY be true, but it makes no difference at all. 按正常文法句式，現在時態表達認同是"可能"的，而不是說反話的"不同意"，因此選用may.
