Consider the following excerpt from the short story 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett: 'The door of her room was ajar and the sound came down the corridor, a far-off faint sound of fretful crying.'

In a small town, the local high school is organizing a science fair where students have to present experiments that involve both the principles of physics and the use of the English language. John, a senior student, is working on a project to demonstrate the relationship between the current passing through a conductor and the voltage applied to it. As part of his presentation, John needs to explain the steps of his experiment and the scientific concepts involved using proper English. Which modal verb should John use to express the necessity of following the experiment's steps in a precise order, considering the safety and accuracy of the results?

Sometimes in English, we want to say that something is not true or that we don't have something. For example, if I have a pencil and I want to say that I don't have an eraser, I can use a negative form. Look at this sentence: 'I have an apple.' If I don't have an apple, I can change the sentence to the negative form like this: 'I don't have an apple.' Now, imagine you have a dog and you want to say that it's not small. How would you write this in English, using the negative form? Write a complete sentence explaining that your dog is not small. Remember to use the word 'not' in your sentence.
