Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e., make sure your family don’t.
- The sentence "If you want to help bees, make sure your family don't use pesticides in your yard" is grammatically incorrect because of the use of "don't".
- "Don't" is the contraction of "do not" and the subject "your family" is singular, therefore it should be "doesn't" to match with the singular subject.
The correct sentence is:
If you want to help bees, make sure your family doesn't use pesticides in your yard.
