Correct Answer: guests are gathered by


Solution : The most appropriate choice is the third option.

Explanation:

"Guests" should be used instead of "guest" as this corrects the subject-verb agreement error, ensuring that the plural noun "guests" matches with the plural verb "are gathered". Moreover, "by" should be used instead of "in" indicating that the gathering action is performed by someone or something, which aligns with the intended meaning of ensuring that the guests are gathered by someone.

So, the correct sentence would be: "Can you please make sure that all the guests are gathered by the stage before the performance begins?"
