Correct : E
Given:
Four sentence choices involving the conjunction 'until' and subject-verb agreement.
To find:
The most suitable sentence with respect to grammar and usage.
Solution:
Let me analyze the grammar rules tested here.
First, the word 'until' already has a negative meaning built into it, which means 'up to the time when'.
Because of this, I should not use a negative word like 'does not' or 'doesn’t' in the clause introduced by 'until', as that makes a double negative.
So this immediately rules out options (A) and (B).
Now I am left with options (C) and (D).
Let me check the subject-verb agreement in the subordinate clause.
The subject here is 'the minister', which is a third-person singular noun.
Therefore, the verb must also be in the third-person singular form, which is 'meets' and not 'meet'.
Option (C) uses 'meet', which is incorrect subject-verb agreement.
Option (D) correctly uses 'meets' without any double negative.
So option (D) is the grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: (D) I will not leave the place until the minister meets me.
