One should not give unasked advice.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Unasked advice should not be given.
Explanation:
- Unasked advice is not to be given.: This passive construction changes the meaning slightly by using "is not to be" instead of "should not be."
- Unasked advice can't be given.: This passive construction changes the meaning slightly by using "can't be" instead of "should not be."
- Unasked advice may not be given.: This passive construction changes the meaning slightly by using "may not be" instead of "should not be."
- Unasked advice should not be given.: This construction correctly maintains the original meaning and reverses the subject and object while using the appropriate verb tense.
