Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

you go back

Solution :

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


Detailed Explanation:

In English grammar, certain verbs such as let, make, see, hear, and watch are followed by a direct object and a bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without "to").


The structure is:
Subject + let + Object + Base Verb (Bare Infinitive)


In the given sentence, the verb "let" is followed by the object "you", so it requires the bare infinitive "go" instead of the full infinitive "to go".


Therefore, the incorrect phrase "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."
