Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "no error."
Unless you do not give (1) / the keys to the safe (2) / you will be shot. (3) / No error (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error is found in the first part of the sentence. The double negatives "do not" and "unless" should not be used together . The word "unless" is a conditional conjunction that already implies a negative condition. " Unless" means "if not", and it states that something will happen only if a certain condition is not met.
So, the correct sentence is " Unless you give the keys to the safe, you will be shot".
