Question and options
Select the option that best rewrites the given sentence without changing its meaning:
You need not come unless you want to
You need not come unless you want to
- You don't need to come unless you want to
- You come only when you want to
- You come unless you don't want to
- You needn't come until you don't want to
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - You don't need to come unless you want to
'You need not come unless you want to' is best expressed idiomatically as 'You don't need to come unless you want to'. 'You come only when you want to' and 'You come unless you don't want to' change the meaning; 'You needn't come until you don't want to' wrongly combines 'until' with a negative.
