②Will the meaning of sentence (a) change if we replace “could” with “must”
If we replace "could" with "must", the meaning of sentence (a)will change. It means the speaker is quite sure about the statement.
If we replace "could“ with "might", the meaning of sentence (a) will remain more or less the same. "Could” and "might" in affirmative sentences have a similar meaning when indicating possibility.

③What happens if we change “must”and “might” in sentence (b) and (c) into “could”
If we change"must" in sentence (b) into “could", it means the speaker is not sure about the statement, and it's only a possibility.
If we change "might" in sentence (c) into "could", it means it's impossible for the children to receive their presents.
