Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct option is the third option.
Explanation:
The sentence structure in the third option suggests a polite request. Moreover, "can" and "able" cannot be used together, as "able" itself means a capacity to do something, which replaces "can" very often.
The other options have incorrect word order and they do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Can you please tone down your excitement?
