Correct Answer: No Error


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The phrase "no talking" serves as a complete sentence in the given context, functioning as an imperative sentence. Imperative sentences often omit the subject (in this case, an implied "you"). The structure "No talking on the dinner table" effectively conveys the prohibition of talking during the meal. Therefore, the structure "No talking on the dinner table" is grammatically acceptable in this context.
