AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

Option 3 is correct. It properly uses the infinitive form 'not to leave', which is standard in directives or commands. Option 1 uses a split infinitive, which is generally avoided in formal writing. Option 2 has a grammatical error in the preposition usage and verb form. Option 4 has a tense error in 'order' instead of 'ordered'.
