Correct option is A
Option (a) contains an error.
Detailed explanation of error: After verbs of command (
order, ask, tell, persuade), when we need a
passive infinitive, the structure is
to be + V3. Additionally, for capital punishment the correct verb form is
hanged (not
hung). Therefore, it should be
“to be hanged”. The accepted legal phrase is
“to be hanged till death” (more formally: “to be hanged by the neck till dead”).
Grammatical rule used:
·
Order/Tell + object + to + be + V3 for passive infinitive.
·
Hanged vs. Hung: People are
hanged (execution); things/pictures are
hung.
·
Example:
· Active:
The judge ordered that they
hang
him.
· Passive-infinitive with object:
The judge ordered the prisoner
to be hanged
.
Information booster: Common verbs taking passive infinitive:
ask/tell/advise/order + object + to be + V3 (
They told him to be ready; She advised the files to be submitted early).
