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".
