Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. people are likely to remember you.
Likely is an adjective, it describes the subject people, here, and requires a verb to complete its meaning. After likely, the infinitive form of a verb is used.
The structure with "likely" is: Subject + to be form of the verb + likely + infinitive verb
Example: "She is likely to succeed."
The verb must agree with the subject. For plural subjects, the correct auxiliary verb is are.
So, the correct sentence is- If you behave well and exhibit good manners, people are likely to remember you in a positive way.
