Detailed Solution

A modal is a type of verb that is also known as a modal verb. Its purpose is to describe the mode that indicates any permission, request, order, advice, or likelihood. Modal verbs that are commonly used are can, could, will, would, may, and might.
"Used to" is commonly used to describe any past event that occurred over a long period of time and is no longer occurring. Because the man in the preceding sentence was a clerk, and because he is no longer one and is now in another profession, this is the most appropriate use of the model, and it demonstrates a past possibility.
