Correct Answer: lest you should
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.
The original phrase "lest you may not" contains a redundancy. "Lest" already implies a fear or apprehension of something happening, so adding "may not" makes the sentence less concise. The phrase "lest you should" is grammatically correct and maintains the intended meaning, conveying the idea of preventing something undesirable from happening.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: Keep him at arm's length lest you should repent in the long run.
