Question : Select the most appropriate option to improve the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select ‘No improvement’.
Why not you to be a good boy and sit down?
Option 1: you not be
Option 2: No improvement
Option 3: you are not being
Option 4: don’t you be
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.
