Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

you go back

Solution :

The correct option to replace the bold phrase is you go back.


Step-by-step Explanation:


1. Analyze the original sentence:
"In the afternoon after lunch, I will let you to go back home."


2. Grammar Rule - Causative Verbs:
The verb "let" is a causative verb. When "let" is followed by an object (in this case, "you"), it requires a bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without the particle "to").


Structure: Subject + let + object + base verb (bare infinitive)


3. Identify the Error:
In the original phrase, "to go" is a full infinitive. Using "to" after the verb "let" is grammatically incorrect.


4. Correct Form:
Removing "to" gives the correct bare infinitive form "go". Therefore, "you to go back" should be replaced by "you go back".


Corrected Sentence:
"In the afternoon after lunch, I will let you go back home."
