Đáp án đúng: B
(AI giải đề cho tôi)
Câu gốc: 'Restaurants are forbidden to serve over ten customers at a time during social distancing. There is no exception whatsoever.' → nhà hàng bị cấm phục vụ quá 10 khách, không có ngoại lệ. Cần câu đảo với cụm từ phủ định mang nghĩa 'không bao giờ được phép'. B: 'On no account are restaurants permitted to serve over ten customers...' = 'Nhà hàng không được phép phục vụ quá 10 khách trong bất kỳ trường hợp nào' — đúng nghĩa và đảo ngữ đúng (On no account + are + S). A và D dùng 'prohibited from serving' sau cụm phủ định 'In no way / Under no circumstances' → nghĩa trở thành 'không bị cấm phục vụ', ngược nghĩa gốc. C dùng thì quá khứ 'were permitted' không phù hợp với hiện tại của câu gốc. Đáp án B khớp với đáp án nguồn (43. B).
