  3. Not until we are sure
  4. Expect if we are not sure

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Unless we are sure

Explanation: The correct answer is B. Option Analysis: ❌ No improvement required : Incorrect due to the double negative "Unless" + "not". ✅ Unless we are sure : Correct grammar and meaning. ❌ Not until we are sure : grammatically, but changes the sentence structure and rhythm. Also not the closest substitution. ❌ Expect if we are not sure : “Expect if” is nonsensical here. Correct Sentence- "Unless we are sure of our goals, we cannot achieve them."
