there is error in option 1 . because until is itself a negative word and we using further negative "not"with you so remove until and do use any other word .otherwise you can say,unless you apologize ,you will not be permitted to go out side .hope you got it !

Cheeran: ANSWER: 2

Explanation:
'Until' itself conveys a negative sense. Above sentence is incorrect because 'not' is used.

The correct sentence should be: Until you apologize you will not be permitted to go outside.

These are “double negative” type of errors.

Similarly, do not use 'Not' with the following words:
TheLostMonk: sorry until in place of unless
TheLostMonk: okk
