Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (A) lest you should not
Lest का अर्थ पहले से for fear that ... not है, अर्थात् उसमें निषेध का भाव है। Not जोड़ने से दोहरा निषेध बन जाता है।
Concept: lest + कर्ता + should + V1 (not नहीं): lest you should get lost।
✓
Hold my hand lest you should get lost in the huge crowd at the fair.
सरल अर्थ: मेरा हाथ पकड़े रहिए, ताकि मेले की विशाल भीड़ में आप खो न जाएँ।
Lest already means for fear that ... not, so it carries a negative idea. Adding not makes a double negative.
Concept: lest + subject + should + V1 (no not): lest you should get lost.
✓
Hold my hand lest you should get lost in the huge crowd at the fair.
