You is not allowed to sit here without permission.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e., are not allowed.

  • The erroneous part of the sentence is the subject, "You." The subject of the sentence should be in the third-person singular form, not the second-person singular form.
  • The sentence should be grammatically correct if it is rephrased as: "You are not allowed to sit here without permission."
  • In this version of the sentence, "you" is the correct form of the pronoun, and the verb "are" agrees with it in number.

The correct sentence is:

You are not allowed to sit here without permission.
