  Do let's solve this immediately
- B.
  
  Let solve this immediately
Correct Answer
B. Let solve this immediately

Explanation
The given correct answer is "Let solve this immediately". This answer is correct because it uses the imperative form of the verb "solve" along with the adverb "immediately" to express the urgency and importance of solving the problem as soon as possible. The phrase "Let's" is a contraction of "let us", which is a common way to make suggestions or give commands in English. Therefore, the answer accurately conveys the idea that the problem needs to be solved without delay.

  Let a doctor see him
- B.
  
  Let's a doctor see him
Correct Answer
A. Let a doctor see him

Explanation
The correct answer is "Let a doctor see him" because it is the grammatically correct option. The phrase "let a doctor see him" is a suggestion or a request for someone to allow a doctor to examine the person in question. The other options, "Let's a doctor see him" and "A doctor should see him" are grammatically incorrect. The first one is missing the verb "let" and the second one is missing the verb "let" and the apostrophe in "let's."

We should not stay here.
- A.
  
  Let's stay here
- B.
  
  Let's not stay here
Correct Answer
B. Let's not stay here

Explanation
The correct answer is "Let's not stay here" because it aligns with the initial statement "We should not stay here." Both statements express the idea of not staying in the current location. The other option, "Let's stay here," contradicts the initial statement and does not provide a solution to the problem of not staying in the current location.
