I must do my homework now. vs I should do my homework now.

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different levels of obligation. 'I must do my homework now' implies a stronger sense of necessity or obligation. 'I should do my homework now' suggests a recommendation or advice. The choice between 'must' and 'should' depends on the speaker's intention and the level of urgency or importance they want to convey.
