Correct Answer: Can we all


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

Explanation: The original sentence "Can all us sleep in the same room, Mother?" contains a grammatical error in the placement of the pronoun. The correction should ensure proper subject-verb agreement and adhere to the standard usage of the modal verb "can" when seeking permission. The word "we" functions as the subject of the sentence, and the position of "all" appropriately modifies the subject.

So, the correct sentence would be: " Can we all sleep in the same room, Mother?".
