Question

Choose the most appropriate affirmative form of the sentence given, from the options provided.
Hurry up so that you don't miss your class.

A.

Miss your class, if you don't hurry up.

B.

Hurry up, lest you should miss your class.

C.

Hurry up and don't miss your class.

D.

Don't hurry and don't miss your class.

Correct option is B


The correct option is (b) Hurry up, lest you should miss your class.

Explanation:
The original sentence uses the structure so that you don't, which expresses a negative purpose — the speaker wants the listener to hurry in order to avoid missing the class. To express the same meaning in a different structure, the conjunction lest is used.

Key Grammar Rule – Use of LEST:

  • Lest is a conjunction meaning for fear that or so that... not. It is always followed by should (or might in some constructions) — never by don't / doesn't / won't.
  • Structure: [Imperative / Clause], lest + subject + should + V₁
  • Example: Walk carefully, lest you should fall.

Conversion:
Hurry up so that you don't miss your classHurry up, lest you should miss your class.
(Hindi meaning: जल्दी करो, कहीं ऐसा न हो कि तुम्हारी कक्षा छूट जाए।)

Explanation of Other Options:
  • (a) Miss your class, if you don't hurry up – Reverses the imperative and makes it conditional; changes the intent of the original sentence.
  • (c) Hurry up and don't miss your class – Uses two separate imperatives joined by and; does not convey the purpose or consequence relationship of the original sentence.
  • (d) Don't hurry and don't miss your class – Completely changes the meaning; tells the listener not to hurry, which is the opposite of the original.

So the correct answer is (b)
