Because of his ill health, the doctor has advised him not to refrain from smoking

  • A.to not refrain from
  • B.to resort to
  • C.to refrain from
  • D.to be refrained from
  • E.No correction required

Answer: C

It should read to refrain from.

The sentence says his health is bad, so the doctor's advice must be to give up smoking. Not to refrain from means to carry on smoking, which reverses the sense.
