Question 1 Report

In the question below select the option (A-D) that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence:

People may not pick flower in this park

Answer Details
The option that best explains the information conveyed in the sentence is: "people are prohibited from picking flowers from this park." The sentence is written in the negative form, which means that the intended meaning is the opposite of what is being expressed. Therefore, "People may not pick flowers in this park" means that people are not allowed to pick flowers in this park. The word "prohibited" means not allowed or forbidden, which matches the intended meaning of the sentence. The other options do not convey the sense of prohibition or restriction that is implied in the sentence. Therefore, option (C) "people are prohibited from picking flowers from this park" is the most accurate interpretation of the given sentence.
