Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. loiter around.
Later is an adverb that refers to time (e.g., I will do it later), but it does not make sense in this sentence.
The sentence is meant to warn someone not to hang around idly in the street, which is correctly expressed using loiter.
"Loiter around" is a common phrase which means hanging around a place aimlessly or without purpose.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- Do not loiter around the street.
