Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: D
🎯 Quick Answer:
All three statements are flawlessly executed imperative transformations.Structural Breakdown: Statement 1 recognizes "Give" as advice rather than a strict order, properly utilizing "should be given". Statement 2 translates "Please" into the formal "You are requested to". Statement 3 applies the negative "Let" formula: "Let + Object + not + be + V3". Historical/Related Context: The "Give the child" sentence is a highly repeated query from early 2026 railway and banking exam banks, testing the candidate's ability to discern tone (advice vs. command) to choose between "Let" and "should". Causal Reasoning: The statements are fully accurate.
Statement 3 perfectly demonstrates that when "do not let" is converted, the negation "not" must be placed immediately after the passive subject ("the sleeping patient") and before the base verb "be".
