Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

shake your

Solution :

The correct answer is shake your.

Explanation:
In English grammar, the verb "let" acts as a causative verb. When followed by an object, it requires a bare infinitive (the base form of the verb without the preposition "to").
The correct grammatical rule is:
let + object + bare infinitive (base form of verb)

In the given sentence, "your failures" is the object. Therefore, using "to shake" is incorrect because the preposition "to" must be omitted after "let".

Correct Sentence:
Do not let your failures shake your resolve.
