Complete the traveler's confused diary entry about a strange photo from their vacation. Choose the correct past modal phrase for each blank.

I just found a picture of myself wearing a giant, neon sombrero in Madrid. I must have bought it at that street market, because I definitely didn't pack one in my suitcase!

However, I can't have paid a lot of money for it, because I still had almost all my cash the next morning.

My friends might have dared me to wear it as a joke, but honestly, my memory of that evening is a bit fuzzy!

I must have bought it at that street market...

Since the traveler didn't pack the hat but is wearing it in the photo, it is a logical certainty that they bought it (must have + past participle).

However, I can't have paid a lot of money for it...

Because the traveler still had their cash, it is a logical impossibility that the hat was expensive (can't have + past participle).

My friends might have dared me to wear it...

The traveler's memory is fuzzy, so this is just a possibility, not a certainty (might have + past participle).
