Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A negative order becomes "let" + the object + "not be" + the past participle: "Let the animals not be teased." ("Let not the animals be teased" is also correct.)
Worth noting
"Let the animals are not teased" uses "are", but after "let" the verb is always the plain "be".
