--blanks--

must

--feedback--

This modal verb expresses obligation, meaning the action is required.


update

--feedback--

This means to modify or refresh something to a new or improved version or state. After must, the verb should be in its base form (without to).

--explanation--

Must is a modal verb that indicates something is required. In this case, updating the software is mandatory.

Update follows must in its base form (without to). Modal verbs do not use to before the main verb.

In the audio, Jessica clearly states what Mark must do, making this the correct structure.
