Correct Answer: don’t you be


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The original sentence has a non-standard structure, and the most suitable correction involves using the imperative form with "don't". The formula for imperative sentences is [don't/doesn't + base verb]. In this case, the base verb is "be". 

Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "Don't you be a good boy and sit down?" This structure is more grammatically accurate for expressing a command or suggestion.
