Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
" If you do not followed the rules, you will not be allowed to stay at this hostel."

Correct option is A

The correct replacement is (a) "If you do not follow the rules."
Explanation:
· The verb "followed" is incorrect in this sentence because the structure "do not" requires the base form of the verb (follow).
· The correct sentence should use "do not follow" in the present simple tense.
Other Options:
· (b) "If you cannot be following the rules" – Incorrect, as it is an unnatural construction.
· (c) "If you should not follow the rules" – Incorrect, as "should not" changes the meaning.
· (d) "No substitution" – Incorrect, as "followed" is a grammatical mistake.
Corrected Sentence:
· "If you do not follow the rules, you will not be allowed to stay at this hostel."
Example Sentence:
· "If you do not obey the law, you will face consequences."
