Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. not to go.
- The underlined part is grammatically incorrect as went is the past form of the verb go.
- We need to use an infinitive in the underlined part as an indirect object.
- Infinitve verbs are used as a direct object or an indirect object to answer the question 'what?' when the subject (teacher) performs an action (advised).
- not to go is an infinitive and the correct improvement for the underlined part.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
