Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 4)

Key Points

The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect use of the word "later" which does not fit contextually.
The word "loiter" means to stand or wait around without apparent purpose, which makes sense in the context of the street.
The correct phrase should be "loiter around the street," ensuring the sentence is both grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: "Do not loiter around the street."
