Correct Answer: until I bring


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The conjunction unless is followed by a clause that usually contains a present or past simple tense verb. The suggested substitution until I bring is more appropriate because, until is used for a conditional time frame and it works well with a simple present tense verb, making the sentence grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Wait at this billing counter until I bring some items I still need to get."
